Dual status Alien -Is form 8840 required?

[drdr123]

I moved from US to Canada permanently in the middle of last year and spent less than 183 days in USA . I am not a citizen of Canada but don't have any financial/tax liabilities/obligations in my country of citizenship. I work and live in Canada .I meet the substantial  presence test on account of time spent in US in 2019 and 2020. In order to claim an earlier residency termination I am aware i need to attach a statement required to establish y residency termination date. But do I ALSO need to attach form 8840?

It depends on your intentions. If you wish to claim yourself a a nonresident of the united States, you will file a 8840 to establish the claim you are a nonresident. Please view this IRS source for more information.
