Hello, I am eligible for the US-China treaty $5000 exemption. I already filed tax return on Turbotax, but I forgot to add the treaty. I found this answer regarding to amendment:<A href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/form-1042s-on-income-tax-treaty-for-resident-alien-f1-visa/00/118366" target="_blank">https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/form-1042s-on-income-tax-treaty-for-resident-alien-f1-visa/00/118366</A> When I tried to amend on TurboTax, I edited the W-2 form, under "Less Common Income" I did not find "Miscellaneous Income". I tried to add a row under Box 14, but could not enter the negative number (-$5000). Please advise how can I amend the 2019 tax return for the treaty exemption! Thank you!!Kate

Yes, that is correct. You would not need to make any negative adjustment because the employer has already done that for you by reducing the amount in Box 1, Form W-2.

Attach a copy of your 1042-S and Form 8833 to an amended return (Form 1040-X) that has no change to it. You will be able to enter an explanation or reason for the amendment that will print on page 2, Form 1040-X.
