Thank you for your response. This is really useful.
However, if this is the case, how is this any different to how nonresident alien's incomes are treated if such a treaty didn't exist?
NRA's are only subject to paying US tax on US income whereas foreign income is not subject to US tax. Does this treaty really add anything?
My wife is a US citizen so am trying to figure out which is more favorable: filing as a NRA on Sprintax as MFS or being treated as a RA and MFJ on TurboTax. Sounds like I won't get a treaty benefit on my US income if MFS as a NRA based on what you said.
