    Tax treaty Israel- USA for J-1 visa
    Hi,
    I am a Israeli doing a post don in the USA on J-1 visa.
    I was told that since the period between my arrival to the USA and my visa expatriation is more than 2 years (in few days... ) I should pay full tax from day 1.
    Is that true?
    Thanks
    Orna

    Unfortunately, yes. I do believe that the U.S.-Israel Tax treaty DOES have a retroactive tax provision in it.

    Here is the link; look under Article 23 and 24
