To claim your tax treaty in Turbotax follow these steps
You will report your income as usual then you will enter the treaty-exempt amount as negative income under "Less common income".
You will have to file a Form 8833 to claim the exception however TurboTax does not support Form 8833, so you cannot e-file. You may use the program to prepare your return, but you will need to print out your tax forms and mail the returns along with the form 8833 and a copy of your tax documents ( for example, W-2 /Form 1099s).
- With TurboTax open select Wages & Income.
- Scroll down to Less Common Income and select Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C.
- On the next page select Other reportable income.
- On the page Other Taxable Income enter Tax Treaty Exclusion in the description and enter your exclusion as a negative amount
- This will put your Tax Treaty Exclusion on Schedule 1 Line 8.
