6年以上的F1 TREATY和STD DEDUCTION

能不能同時要是個有爭議的問題, IRS回答都不同, 下麵是說可以的回複, 有類似情況的最好自己和IRS EMAIL聯係, 不要用PHONE CALL, 因為CALL沒留下任何憑證(在美國說話不如放屁, 屁還有味呢), 怎樣處理自己做決定. 個人認為不能同時要有一定道理, 因為TREATY隻是對NRA, 能按RA保稅的F1又能CLAIM TREATY的實際是按DUAL-STATUS處理的, 一方麵按PRESENCE TEST是RA, 另一方麵TREATY又必須是NRA. PUB519上說明了一旦NRA變成綠卡馬上失去TREATY.

>>>>>The Answer To Your Question Is:
Hello, thank you for your inquiry.

As a resident alien, he is generally entitled to the same credits and deductions as a US citizen. He may claim the standard deduction and his $5,000 income tax treaty benefit.

If you entered the United States as a nonresident alien, but you are now a resident alien for US tax purposes, the treaty exemption will continue to apply if the tax treaty has an exception to the savings clause. The US-China Income Tax Treaty does have this exception.

Since this applies to you, you generally may not need to file a Form 8833, Treaty-Based Return Position Disclosure under Section 6114 or 7701(b), for the income for which treaty benefits are claimed. This is because the income will typically be of a category for which disclosure on a Form 8833 is waved. See Reporting Treaty Benefits Claimed in chapter 9 of Publication 519, US Tax Guide for Aliens, for more detailed information.

In most cases, you also will not need to report the income on your Form 1040 because the income will be exempt from US tax under the treaty. However, if the income has been reported as taxable income on a Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, or other information return, you should report it on the appropriate line of Form 1040 (for example, line 7 in the case of wages or salaries). You can only claim the amounts your client earned from January 1, 2003 to September 20, 2003. Enter the amount for which treaty benefits are claimed in parentheses on Form 1040, line 21. Next to the amount write Exempt income and give the treaty country and treaty article. On Form 1040 subtract this amount from your income and arrive at total income on Form 1040, line 22.

Information can be found in Publication 519, US Tax Guide for Aliens and the US-China Income Tax Treaty.
