An international tax treaty-related question is out of our scope for advice, unfortunately. You would need to seek a professional who is specialized in this matter for verification. If you believe the treaty applies to you, you will need to file a Form 8833.
To report information in the TurboTax program, here are the steps:
- Report your income as usual. Then enter the treaty-exempt amount as negative amount (e.g. -5000) through this path-Federal Taxes / Less Common Income / Miscellaneous Income 1099A, 1099C / Other Reportable Income
- Download and fill in a Form 8833 to claim an exception. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8833.pdf
- You cannot e-file. You can still use the TurboTax program to prepare your tax forms, but you need to print out all your tax forms and submit the Form to 8833 together by mail to the IRS.
