India-US Tax Treaty Eligibility
I’m an Indian PhD student on an F1 visa. I moved to the US in Sep 2021, and will be filing as a non resident alien.
Under the India-US tax treaty, Indian students can claim a standard deduction. However, I was working in Germany and paid taxes for 1 year immediately prior to moving to the US. For my Indian tax returns, I’m a non resident of India.
Am I eligible to claim a standard deduction under the India-US tax treaty? Thank you.
