Yes, you would be considered a dual status resident since you renounced your US Citizenship as of the date you renounced it. You cannot choose to be treated as a resident of the US for the rest of the year, so you would need to file as a dual status resident.
A citizen will be treated as relinquishing his or her U.S. citizenship on the earliest of four possible dates:
- the date the individual renounces his or her U.S. nationality before a diplomatic or consular officer of the United States, provided the renunciation is subsequently approved by the issuance to the individual of a certificate of loss of nationality by the U.S. Department of State;
- the date the individual furnishes to the U.S. Department of State a signed statement of voluntary relinquishment of U.S. nationality confirming the performance of an act of expatriation specified in paragraph (1), (2), (3), or (4) of section 349(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1481(a)(1)-(4)), provided the voluntary relinquishment is subsequently approved by the issuance to the individual of a certificate of loss of nationality by the U.S. Department of State;
- the date the U.S. Department of State issues to the individual a certificate of loss of nationality; or
- the date a U.S. court cancels a naturalized citizen’s certificate of naturalization.
