Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a saving clause. Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes. H you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the savin5 clause of a fax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Fort NIA that specifies the following five items. 1. The treaty country. Generally. this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident afien. 2. The treaty article addressing the income. 3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions. 4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax. 5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article. Example.
