Dear Experts,
I am a fellow from Thailand with J-1 visa. I am employed by the U.S. federal government. On my earnings statement, there are deductions for both OASDI and Medicare. Am I eligible for exemption? If so, how do I file for the exemption?
Will I be eligible for any tax treaty such as Treaty Article Citation 22(1) in Publication 515? I do not know whether I am qualified under "fellowship grant".
Thank you in advance for your kind advice.
Heng
