You can be both a nonresident alien and a resident alien during the same tax year. This usually occurs in the year you arrive in, or depart from, the United States. For the part of the year you are a resident alien, you are taxed on income from all sources. Income from sources outside the United States is taxable if you receive it while you are a resident alien.
See Dual-Status Tax Year for complete details.
