TAX TREATIES

If you earned wages (as reported on form W-2) during 2009 and are a national of a country that has a tax treaty with the U.S., you may be able to deduct that tax treaty amount on your tax form. Refer to IRS Publication 901 (U.S. Tax Treaties). Be sure that you are referencing the correct section of the publication; tax treaty provisions for students begin on Page 18. Another good source of information on tax treaties is found in the special IRS Tax Treaty website.
