Short term foreign income


Margaret CPA in OH

Recommended Posts

Two clients decided to try their luck teaching English in Columbia. One lasted 3 months and returned. The other is still there but trying very hard to get a job back in the states.

Neither meet the criteria for either bona fide residence or physical presence (although there is small chance the second may meet physical presence if she stays) criteria. So I believe they are both temporary and do not qualify for any 2555 exclusion. But I cannot figure out how to report their earnings and credit for foreign tax paid. I have done the currency conversion, thanks to links earlier this year on this board. Now what? They certainly do not have W-2's!
