    Tax treaty benefit italy-usa
    Hi,
    I am a visiting scholar from Italy I came with a J1 visa. I will be in the state for six months. I came here 4 years ago with a J1 as a phd student and I did not ask for any benefict.
    This time I got a fellowship and the institution is going to withholding form it 15% for tax.
    Is there anything I can do for a total exemption?

    No you do not get treaty benefits as you have already spent two years on J-1.
