    Depending on your visa, you may or may not be a resident for US tax. Check this first to determine whether you need to file a 1040 or a 1040NR.

    Whether you are a resident or not, you may qualify to exclude from your income your earnings under Article 20. The way you do this varies depending on the specifics of your situation but the result is the same.
