Hello,
I was a short-term scholar in a university in USA for the following period 09/01/2009 – 02/28/2010 (6 months). Upon the completion of my work in the university, I have returned to the country of my residency. 10 months (less than a year!) later, I came back to USA to start a PhD program at the same university (01/12/2011). According to the program I'll receive a stipend (wages) from the university.
My question is: Am I eligible for treaty exemption for the income taxes (both federal and NY state)?
Thanks in advance for any information
