    Can I apply tax treaty?
    I came to USA in Oct 2003 from China, with H1B visa to do research in University.
    I never came to USA before that, and did not left after arriving.
    China has a tax treaty with USA to get 3 years income tax free.
    Can I apply this treaty?
    The 3 year is 3-calander year or 36-month?
    Thanks!

    The China Tax Treaty exemptions do NOT apply for H-1B visa holders In my opinion.

    If you meet all the applicable requirements, you should still be able to claim the exemption. You can become a resident and still qualify in this case. Use three actual years, not calendar years.
