I was on F1 status with stipend and in October 2024, I changed to OPT moved to another state for a new job. Should I claim "US-China tax treaty article 20c" together or separately for the two incomes (both incomes exceed 5000)? Especially when I fill the state tax return form, I was asked about the proportion of the adjustment. Which state it should belong to?

Yes, you can exclude $5000 according to the terms of the US/China tax treaty on the federal return. It doesn't apply on the state return however, according to Tax Notes.
