I was in the U.S. in 2013 for 170 days and 2014 for 160 days with a J1-PROFESSOR visa. Now I switched to F1 and receive scholarship from another university. The university tax system said I cannot claim tax treaty by filling out FORM W-8BEN. Is this because that I have become a Residence Alien status? So can I instead file a W-9 form to claim the treaty? Thanks.
