Can income earned from foreign embassies or consulates be treated as foreign income for tax purposes?
I have been working in a foreign embassy since 2007 and now that its time to file the taxes I am just wondering if my income can be treated as a foreign income(non-taxable) since i'm paid by a foreign government(for whose embassy i work). Also if it cannot be treated as a foreign income, where should i report it? I receive my salary by check, and since its an embassy they don't give me a W-2 or a 1099.
Yes: You are working for a foreign government. You must
1report your income according to the rules of income earned
from a foreign source.
