Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Yes, if you were a tax resident in 2018, then you were a resident for part of 2019 and you are required to file the FBAR if the requirements apply to you.
If you were a US resident in 2018, then you will need to file a resident return for 2019. You can either file a dual status return (part year resident and part year nonresident) or you can file a resident return for calendar year 2019 and claim your worldwide income. You can use the foreign tax credit from Hong Kong to help offset any US taxes.
TurboTax does not support dual status returns. Also, if you want to file a dual status return. you are not allowed to take the standard deduction which is $12,200 if you are single.
You can read more about Dual-Status filing requirements on Page 32 of US Tax Guide for Aliens It is complicated and you are not allowed to use the standard deduction if you file a dual status return and if married, you must file married filing separately.
