I have SSA income from Chinese government. I don't need to pay USA tax for this income per US-China Tax Treaty Art 17-2. I have entered this income and subtracted this income using Tax Treaty Art 17-2 under 2025 1040-SR Schedule 1, Part I, z - ‘Other income’. According to IRS instruction for form 8833, When you report Social Security income under a tax treaty, you can be exempt from filing Form 8833. But Gemini said it’s better to file it. What do you think? If I need to file Form 8833, is there a way to attach the PDF of Form 8833 to my e-filed tax return through TurboTax? Otherwise, I have to print my tax file and mail it to IRS with form 8833.
Thank you.
