21 What is a Tax Treaty? The United States has income tax treaties with a number of foreign countries. Under these treaties, residents (not necessarily citizens) of foreign countries may be eligible to be taxed at a reduced rate or exempt from U.S. income taxes on certain items of income they receive from sources within the United States. These reduced rates and exemptions vary among countries and specific items of income. For more information, contact: Traci Yates, HRIS Analyst Payroll, Office of Business Affairs Kerr Admin Building Traci.Yates@oregonstate.edu OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY 20

22 HOW TO FILE

26 Can I file jointly with my spouse? If you were married on the last day of the tax year, you do not have the option to file a return jointly with your spouse, if both you and your spouse are non-resident aliens. If you file Form 1040NR, your only option is to file a single tax return (married non-resident alien status is also treated as a single). If you are citizen of Canada, Mexico or South Korea, or a student or business apprentice from India, by filing 1040NR, you may have the option to claim dependency exemptions for your family under certain circumstances which Sprintax will determine for you. If you are filing Form 1040NR-EZ, you can only claim "single non-resident alien" or "married non-resident alien", which are both treated as single filing status and you cannot claim dependency exemptions.
