Lina - Thank you very much for this answer. Instructions for Form 8833 say "You do not have to file Form 8833 for any of the following situations: (the two that apply to me:) 2. You claim a treaty exemption that reduces or modifies the taxation of income from dependent personal services, pensions, annuities, social security and other public pensions........, 5. The payments or items of income that are otherwise required to be disclosed total no more than $10,000." So I am thinking that I can efile with form 4852 and do not have to file form 8833. I hope......
