If one spouse gives up the green card and moves overseas to home country yet has rental property income from the US property and has been filing married filing jointly with a US-citizen spouse to report the income as if he's still a resident, is the spouse who gave up the green card considered "expatriated" for tax purpose? Or, as long as the non-resident alien continue to file taxes as a resident, then there's no need to worry about expatriate tax.

Contact an international tax pro, or call the IRS.
Forget calling the IRS, an international tax pro is needed....its actually much more complicated than the OP realizes. In fact, far too complicated to be handled on this board.

Yes, for openers, green card or not, if they have continued to file jointly, the expatriate spouse is still being taxed as a US Citizen/Resident.

Do find yourself an Enrolled Agent near a US border...
