Dear EbonyL122824,
Thank you so much for your reply! I have not got any replies yet and assume it might take several months because the COVID and IRS mentioned they might process the paperwork slower? Here the situation gets different after I talked to an advisor from the Payroll department at my university: he mentions I should not claim the treaty because my income is low and no taxes were taken. Do I still need to make amend if this happens(since, in this case, there is no need to claim the treaty)? Thanks a lot!
