Hello! Does green card holder needs to file form 1040-C if he leaves country temporarily, or requirement only applies to those who depart permanently?

Thank you, but this is where I started. It is not obvious. I was told by several people that words "depart" and "leave" clearly mean "permanently leave" there, but that is not clearly stated anywhere.

If you were not leaving permanently then you would have no reason to file the 1040-C ... you would continue to file the 1040 or 1040NR as needed.
