遇到拿雞毛當令箭的人怎麽辦？

我先生在美國一所大學找到個科研工作，於是我們全家2年前舉家搬到美國。根據中美一個協議，他來美國頭的3年免稅。今年初，我們又順利地拿到了綠卡。本來是一件很高興的事，但是學校裏一個人事處官員在我先生稅務問題上百般刁難，讓我們很生氣。
事情是這樣的：我們拿到綠卡後那個官員就說我們身份改變，無權再享受3年中美免稅協議。但是我先生在網上查到這個免稅協議對resident alien都是有效的。那個官員說我們拿到綠卡，不是resident alien（我們有居住權，又是外國人，當然是resident alien）。於是我先生在協議網站上收集了resident alien的定義給他。他沒法在這個問題上做文章，於是改口說協議是針對那些來做科研或教學工作的人，既然我們有綠卡，我們就隻是來工作和生活的，所以不符合協議要求(Due to you being a lawful permanent resident now, you are no longer here for the primary purpose of teaching, giving lectures, or conducting research, which is what Article 19 refers to. As an LPR, you are here to live and work, and are not eligible for the treaty.)。對於這種無賴我們改怎麽辦？

另外，我剛才沒說清楚，對中國人, the treaty extends to resident alien.既然我們是中國人，這個免稅協議對我們就適用。（我不認為我是什麽無賴。我隻是爭取自己應得的東西而已）

Students, Apprentices, Trainees, Teachers, Professors, and Researchers Who Became Resident Aliens

Generally, you must be a nonresident alien student, apprentice, trainee, teacher, professor, or researcher in order to claim a tax treaty exemption for remittances from abroad for study and maintenance in the United States, for scholarship, fellowship, and research grants, and for wages or other personal service compensation. Once you become a resident alien, you generally can no longer claim a tax treaty exemption for this income.

However, if you entered the United States as a nonresident alien, but you are now a resident alien for U.S. tax purposes, the treaty exemption will continue to apply if the tax treaty's saving clause (explained later) provides an exception for it and you otherwise meet the requirements for the treaty exemption (including any time limit, explained later). This is true even if you are a nonresident alien electing to file a joint return as explained in chapter 1.

Some exceptions to the saving clause apply to all resident aliens (for example, under the U.S.-People's Republic of China treaty); others apply only to resident aliens who are not lawful permanent residents of the United States (green card holders).


我們的一個朋友和我們一樣情況，他學校的人事處就沒收他的稅。他比我們幸運多了，沒遇到雞蛋裏挑骨頭的hr官員。
