Devji, from reading the above it appears to me that for 2016, you were a dual status taxpayer because ( assuming that you were admitted to the USA Jan1st of 2016 AND had no prior stay in USA during 2014, 2015) ---i.e. for the first 183 days you were Non-Resident Alien being taxed on US sourced income only while during the ret of the year of 2016 you would have been a Resident for Tax purposes, being taxed by the USA on your world income.. If that is correct than for 2017 you would still be taxed as a resident for tax purposes i.e. filing a 1040 series return ( TurboTax can help you prepare that). An item to note is that your departure procedure has an impact on your 2017 return --- did your visa get cancelled or surrendered , thus rendering you again a dual status person --- a resident for tax purposes till the day of departure and a non-resident alien for the rest of the year. If you did not take that path and did not file clsing papers, then US may consider that you are still a resident alien for tax purposes-- thus exposing your home country income to the USA taxes --- please clarify on this.
