Nonresident alien who bkc es a resident alien.
Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the
terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on
certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a
provision known as a "saving clause.' Exceptions specified
in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to
continue for certain types of income even after the recipient
has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes.
If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an
exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to
claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income,
you must attach a statement that specifies the following five
items:
1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same
treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a
nonresident alien.
2. The treaty article addressing the income.
3. The .article number (or location) in the tax treaty that
contains the saving clause and its exceptions.
4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the
exemption from tax.
5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under
the terms of the treaty article.
