US-Israel tax treaty and TA salary
Hi,
I'm an F1 grad student, and was wondering whether article 24(1) in the US-Israel tax treaty could theoretically apply to TA stipends.
It says that people "studying or doing research as a recipient of a grant, allowance or award..." shall be exempt from tax on the grant, allowance, or award, and on income from personal services performed in an amount not in excess of 3k for any taxable year. The full treaty can be found here for those interested.
Would it be possible to pass off a TA salary as tax-exempt income (i.e., an award/allowance rather than a personal service)? Has any of you managed to do that?
