I don't know of any way to exempt yourself from self-employment tax if you report income on a schedule C. If you aren't deducting any expenses you could report the income as "Other Income" and it wouldn't be subject to self-employment taxes. You do that in TurboTax in the Wages and Income section, then Less Common Income, then Miscellaneous Income, then Other Reportable Income. You could report it there and mention the treaty in the explanation.

You need to include form 8833 with your return where you can explain what you are doing.
