OPT-H1B year US-China tax treaty Article 20

[hittheriver]

I have been on F1 since 2010 (7 years so far). I was on H1B since oct 2017. Am I still qualified for the "US-China tax treaty Article 20"? The salary from Jan-Sep 2017(under OPT) is above 5000. 

Thanks a lot

Yes, you still qualify.  The treaty still applies to your tax filing on Form 1040.

What about F1 from 2008 - 2013, and then H1B from 2014 until now, live in CA? Thanks a lot.

Please send in a new question if you can.

@amylf2007  the treaty article only applies for time on F1, not for time on H1
