1. The US TurboTax program does not handle the treaty exemption automatically in the system. If the treaty applies to you, which is out of our scope for advice, you can enter as a negative amount under the "Other Income" section.
2. If you both are not a US citizen or resident, working in Canada for the whole year makes you a nonresident. As TurboTax does not support any nonresident tax forms, you are advised to contact Sprintax which is affiliated with TurboTax to help our nonresident aliens with their US tax returns.
3. You would need to contact TurboTax Canada: https://turbotax.intuit.ca/tax-software/index.jsp
4. Have you been present in the US before the year 2019? If no, you cannot file jointly on your US return. You have to file separately. For more information, see here: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040nr.pdf, page 14 under Filing Status
If you have been present in the US before 2019, please provide the month, year and for how long.
