Per IRS, the tax treaty benefit applies to both non-residents and residents who have their status changed after meeting different tests and making choices. You can claim the tax treaty benefit on Form 8833 along with Form 1040 if you meet the tax treaty requirements. You can simply use TurboTax to file without visiting Sprintax.
