You DO need to file 8833 if you claim treaty benefit. But there are some
exceptions to the rule. Please check Pub. 519 for the details.

I believe, however, you do NOT have to use Form 8833 to report the 
requested information. You can use your own format, as long as you give the 
information that is required by IRS. I think Pub. 519 has the details on
what you have to disclose when you claim treaty.

For international students, you must, with no exceptions, file Form 8843. 
But, again, you can use your own format if you do not have the form.
