Where do you find the Residence Certificate and Application for Tax Exemption forms?

I looked at the IRS web site. The residence certificate I found was one you get for a fee and AFTER you have worked the year.

The public school contract says you have to provide them with these two items to claim the exemption.

You need to download and print Tax From 8802 from the irs.gov website. Fill it out, mail it to the U.S. and you will receive a form in a couple of months. After that, contact your school about what to do with it. You don't have to wait a year to get that form.

As far as a resdence certificate, I have no idea what your school is talking about. The form you get in the mail after mailing in form 8802 will state you are a legal resident of the U.S. for tax purposes. That must be what they are talking about.

I am not sure if this helps, but this is what I have found.
