学校的H1头三年不用交税

这是指直接以H1来美的,或者从J1转来的(比如J1两年,那么H1一年,总共三年的收入应该是免税的),我们的大学就是这样执行的,payroll直接给扣除免税的收入,填在W2表上。我的同事就是J1两年多,转为H1后的当年,payroll把他H1收入的三年以内那部分的收入扣除后的数字写在W2表上的。

有人说H1不能免税,我想这不对吧?我的同学在别的几个州的大学也都是这么办的,填了表后根本就不扣税,扣了的也退回给本人或让本人报税时要回,难道这些地方的大学都错了?那么下面的treaty又如何理解呢?(我反正没拿过H1,我的J1用了整整满三年半,但只是给用H1来美的朋友们提个醒,至少,值得去try一下)

手上有份tax treaty的copy,掉了几页,不知是不是Pub.901的第13页,上面写着:

China, People's Republic of
An individual who is a resident of the People's Republic of China and who is temporarily in the United States primarily to teach, lecture, or conduct research at a university or other accredited educational institution or scientific research institution is exempt from U.S. income tax on income for the teaching, lecturing, or research for a total of not more than 3 years.

This exemption does not apply to income from research carried on mainly for the private benefit of any person rather than in the public interest.
