Based on your explanation, I think I am an alien resident for tax purposes. I only have US incomes. Considering that, could I do only a regular tax return next year using turbo tax?
There is nothing to report from outside the US, so I believe there is no need of dual status tax, correct?
I have already filed 2021 tax return this year as a resident and did the same last year regarding 2020.
If you were a resident alien for 2021, you must file a 2021 return and report and pay US tax on all your world-wide income. You say you already did this. Then consider it finished.
For 2022, the substantial presence test will consider you a US resident alien for tax purposes if you were in the US for more than 31 days.

However, if you moved away in 2022 and don't plan to come back, you are a dual-status alien for 2022.

As a dual-status alien, you will owe 2022 income tax in this way:
1. all your world-wide income you received while living in the US
2. only US-source income you received after you moved overseas.
Turbotax can't prepare a dual-status tax return. You may want to check other companies or see professional help.
