U.S. Tax Treaties with Turkey, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh- Professors, Teachers, and Researchers Income
There are some countries listed by the US such as Turkey, Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. The residents of these countries who are professors, teachers or researchers generally do not have to pay US tax. If they temporarily visit the United States to teach or do research, the income of the professors and teachers are exempt from the US tax for 2 or 3 years. The tax exemption is valid for the income earned by the professors or teachers during the applicable period. For most of the countries, the start date of the US income tax exemption begins on the date of arrival in the United States for the purpose of teaching or conducting a research.
The exemption generally applies to pay received during a second teaching assignment if both are completed within the specified time, even if the second assignment was not arranged until after arrival in the United States on the first assignment.
If you do not meet the requirements for exemption as a teacher or if you are a resident of treaty country that does not have a special provision for teachers, you may qualify under a personal.
