As far as the FBAR, just to be safe, i would report for the full calendar year as it states. As far as the reference source, please read the instructions for filling out form 8938. There is a section entitled Types of Reporting Thresholds on page 4. it mentions the reporting requirements for taxpayers living in the US and for Taxpayers living outside of the US. Since you spent such a brief time in the US, not living here on 12/31, and not presently living here now, i would deem you as a taxpayer not living in the US. other than this, there is no credible reference source that narrows the definition of a taxpayer living in or outside the US.
