<br />Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a
<br />nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce
<br />or eliminate U.S, tax on certain types of income. However. most tax
<br />treaties contain a provision known as a saving clause. Exceptions
<br />specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to
<br />continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise
<br />become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes.
<br />If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception
<br />contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption
<br />from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement
<br />to Form W-9 that specifies the following fire items.
<br />1. The treaty country. Generally. this must be the same treaty under
<br />which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien.
<br />2. The treaty article addressing the income.
<br />3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the
<br />saving clause and its exceptions.
<br />4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption
<br />from tax.
<br />S. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of
<br />the treaty article.
<br />Exampfe. Article 2D of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an
<br />exemption from lax for schotarship income received by a Chinese
<br />student ternporarity present in the United States. Under U.S. Wv. this
<br />student will become a resident alien for tax purposes. if their stay in the
<br />United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the
<br />first Protocol to the i1.5: China treaty (dated April M. 1W) allows the
<br />provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese
<br />student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese
<br />student who qualities for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first
<br />Protocol) and is retying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax
<br />on their scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a
<br />statement that includes the information described above fo support that
<br />exemption.
<br />If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity. give the requester the
<br />appropriate completed Form W-8 or Form 8233.
