Let me clarify:
From Jan-Sept, you file as a nonresident. You only report US source income during that nine months. If you have US source income, it will be taxed at the same graduated rates as for a U.S. person.
From Oct-Dec, you file as a resident. You must report all income from US and your foreign country for that three months. If your total income for that period is $20,000, your tax rate will be at 12%.
Hope it helps.
