Hi,
I am currently on J-1 from Israel. Under tax-treaty I am not paying taxes for my first two years.
I know that for some countries, there is a retroactive loss of benefits, if the two-year time limit in the U.S. is exceeded.
Is there such loss provision for Israel?
And if yes, if I change my status from J1 to H1B before end of my two-years (I am NOT subject to 2-year Foreign Residency Requirement) - will I still need to retroactively repay taxes?
Thank you
