发帖数: 298 | 1 I am a Chinese Graduate student pursuing my Ph.D degree in US schools, and
have scholarship from my university. I was non-resident in 2015.
Since my husband was tax resident alien in 2015, and we filed jointly, so in
2015 I choose to treat as tax resident alien in 2015.
As Chinese citizen, my husband and I both have U.S.-China treaty benefits.
But as tax resident alien, we also have 2 people $8000 exemption, and
standard deduction $12600. Is that true? Sounds too good to be true.
I just not sure if my husband and I can both have treaty benefits and
personal exemption and standard deduction? Sounds too good to be true. I am
afraid I am wrong.
Sorry for asking, and thanks very much for your help. | f*******n
