If you were exempt in 2020 and 2019, you are a non-resident alien for tax reporting purposes in 2021. The IRS says that a dual-status alien is when you have been both a U.S. resident alien and a nonresident alien in the same tax year. If you were an exempt individual in 2019, 2020, and 2021, you were never a resident alien nor a dual-status citizen.
