Tax Exemption for J1 Visa Worker/Student

Hi, this question has my CPA stumped. My girlfriend is a resident of the Slovak Republic. 2012 was the 4th summer she came to the US under J-1 visa to live and work for approx. 120 days. In previous years Zuzana utilized the tax service, Taxback, which acted in her name and was able to issue her tax refund to her. Since becoming involved with me, Zuzana decided to use my CPA to file her taxes for the year 2012. Because she paid federal and state income taxes from her paycheck in 2012 she expected a refund like years prior.

My question is this, under what section of the law is Zuzana, resident of Slovak Republic, exempt from taxes ? Is it a tax treaty ? We thought form 8843 exempted her, but that is only for FICA taxes.

We are having difficulty discovering why she received a refund in years prior, but not for 2012.
