But "Do not include the treaty-exempt amount on line 5" doesn't mean you can deduct your total wage by 5000 and fill it on line 5. quite confused...

my wage is larger than $5000

thanks, summernyc. The problem is whether my income belongs to scholarship and fellowship grants.

才发现原来是line3是填上wage－5000的。

另外报state tax时，比如我填的IT-203（ny state），里面的line1的wages也是减去5000吗？
