What is a Tax Treaty and how do I know if my country has one in place with the United States?
A. Tax treaties may exempt a certain amount of an individual’s income from being taxed by the federal government and state. The type, amount, and length of time a treaty may cover an individual will vary. A student or scholar must make an appointment with the Tax department to make a treaty election. Attached is a link (PDF) of tax treaty countries.
