I came to the US with a J1 visa for 3 years, I've been exempted to pay my taxes for the first 2 years and, on my 3rd year I tarted paying my taxes. I stayed in the US after my 3 year contract because. I got married to a US citizen and I also had a son. I'm nearly on my 5 year here on the US now. My question is, I received a "Notice of Deficiency" from the IRS and they are showing me that I owe them taxes with penalties. Is there any article that says I am exempted to pay these taxes? They also explained that my income is not exempt under Article 21 (US-Philippines Tax Treaty) and that the expected time was more than 2 years. What facts should I rely that I am exempted on the first two years of my stay as a teacher in the US under J1 visa? And that on the 3rd year I paid my taxes but it is still showing that I owe them.
