Hi !
I am a French citizen on a J1 visa (Research Scholar) and have been in the US since Sept. 2017. I got married to a US citizen in 2018. I am still exempt from State and Fed taxes (France-US tax treaty). If I file jointly with my husband (therefore become a US citizen for tax purposes), will I be taxed on my income in 2018 or can I still benefit from the tax exemption (FR-US tax treaty Article 20) ?
Thank you

If you file jointly with a citizen and request to be treated as a resident for tax purposes -- you would not be eligible for asserting US-France tax treaty benefits. J-1 is exempted for two years from taxation as long as the research meets the condition of the visa..
Do you need more on this ?
