According to the IRS (with no commitment from their side), the tax
treaty with Switzerland was modified to disallow this option, as of
Jan 1, 1998 with a one year delay for applying the new treaty. (Some
claim it was Feb, 1998.) In fact, various people at IRS have given
various intructions.
We have had a J1 visitor from Switzeland here, and we have received
conflicting instructions about his tax situation. Pointers, advice,
corrections are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Berthe
