Can federal treaty exemption be applied again?
Hi,
I am a citizen of the UK working in a university in London as a professor and researcher.
I spent the year 2007 - 2008 on H1b visa in Massachusetts and returned back to the UK in early 2008. I was able to claim an exemption from federal income tax under my country's tax treaty with the U.S. (Article 20).
Now, if I return to the US again on another H1B / J1 visa to work for 9-10 months at another US university, will I be able to once again claim an exemption from federal income tax as I did in 2007-2008? i.e. are there any restrictions on the number of times one can claim this exemption?
Thanks!
