I am an international student who can claim tax treaty.

This includes taxable scholarship and fellowship grants. The payee can claim a reduction or modification of taxation of income under an International Social Security Agreement or a Diplomatic or Consular Agreement. The payee is a partner in a partnership, or a beneficiary of an estate or trust and the partnership, estate, or trust reports the required information on its return.

How should I enter that in turbotax?
I have grants reflected on 1098T, which can be exempted from US china tax treaty article 20(b) and an additional 5000 dollar from w2 which is from article 20(c)

Follow these steps:
