Posted by Guillermo el Gato on May 24, 2008, 10:30 am Please log in for more thread options Hi, (forgive the sorta anonymous name) I (a US Citizen) live overseas and my spouse (also a US Citizen) works a normal job for a company here, and I'm self-employed. Filling out her taxes is relatively straight-forward, however, my question is about my taxes. Do I have to fill out the business forms as if I had my business in the US (listing all expenses and so on, mileage and whatever) or is it enough to say that we earned $X together overseas and that's the value that should be used as the gross income? Many thanks! -- << ------------------------------------------------------- >> << The foregoing was not intended or written to be used, >> << nor can it used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties >> << that may be imposed upon the taxpayer. >> << >> << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting posts >> << to this newsgroup as well as our anti-spamming policy >> << are at www.asktax.org. >> << Copyright (2007) - All rights reserved. >> << ------------------------------------------------------- >> Similar Threads Posted Re: Overseas Taxes May 24, 2008, 7:19 pm Re: Overseas Taxes May 24, 2008, 8:00 pm Re: Overseas Taxes May 27, 2008, 10:19 pm Living overseas and filing US taxes December 21, 2007, 9:56 pm Open-ended overseas trip--how to handle U.S. taxes?
