    Tax Treaty 1099 MIS? Really confused...
    Hello,

    Before posting this I tried to read everything possible on the IRS website.

    I am a Bulgaria resident, and my friend recently told me about the tax treaty. I graduated from my masters in 2015 and then did my OPT till September 2016.

    I was employed as a Independent Contractor and received 1099-MIS earlier this year - I have earned 19,500, and according to the tax treaty (Article 19(1)(b)) I am eligible to exempt from 9000.

    I am confused do I just file Form 8233 or do I file Form 8833? Do I need also 1040NR along with a Schedule C? Is there a way I can do that online, since I am back in Europe now?

    ANY advice would be greatly appreciated since I am desperately confused.

    Thank you.

    Best,

    Lucy

    For the first time, Form 1040NR CAN be filed electronically.

    You submit Form 1040NR with Schedule C, and you exempt $9,000 of the Form 1099-MISC income.

    If you need professional help filing, THIS IS WHAT I DO! Please email me at the email address in my profile.
