I was on F-1 visa from 08/2010 to 08/14/2018 (08/2017-08/2018 on OPT), and started to work with H1b on 08/15/2018. I was in the U.S. for 365 days in 2018 and 365 days in 2017. For tax status, am I being considered as a resistant alien or a dual status alien in 2018? Thank you.

If you spent 183 days in the US in the last 3 years, you meet the Physical Presence test for a 'Resident Alien'.
