How to fill Form 8833?

Post by octane99 »

Hello, Nelson, I hope this is the last question this year. Regarding form 8833, how to fill the following blanks:


Check one or both of the following boxes as applicable:

The TP is disclosing a treaty-based return position as required by section 6114
The TP is a dual-resident TP and is disclosing a treaty-based return position as required by Regulations section 301.7701(b)-7

Which box shall I check? I guess it is the first one?


Then there are 5 lines.

How to fill line 2? Is there any code?
How to fill line 4? Is there any provisions of the limitation? I do not think so.


For line 5, do I need to explain something? Like my US income, Canada Income, I reported my world income and treated myself as US resident for tax purpose?

Thank you for the help.
ONE WORLD
