Is commission rebate from the buyer's Realtor to the buyer a taxable income? Transaction was done outside of the escrow and 1099-Misc (Box 7) was issued to the buyer following January. 1) is this taxable income for the buyer and 2) if so, is he responsible for SE taxes as well?

Hello,

I am a Tunisian national on J1 Visa in the US. However, I have never paid taxes in Tunisia. I did my PhD and was working in France for 5 years paying taxes there. I got my visa in France. Is my tax residency France or is it Tunisia? Because if I claim it to be Tunisia, there is no two years tax treaty. If it's France, what documents I need to claim the tax refund?
Thanks
