If you received Form(s) W-2, and some or all of your wages are exempt by tax treaty, you will need to manually adjust your W-2 entry to reflect only the wages that are not exempt by tax treaty. Wages which are exempt by tax treaty should be reported on Schedule OI. The IRS will match the amount reported on your Form(s) W-2 with the amounts reported on lines 8 and 22 of your Form 1040NR or lines 3 and 6 on your Form 1040NR-EZ.

You will need to paper-file your return.
