2009 tax exemption
I am a citizen of the United States will teach South Korea, beginning in August 2008, my question is well on the filing U.S. tax?
I will be in 2008 in Korea August to August 2009th Since the tax return the U.S. will begin in January-April 2009, is how I as someone filing for tax exemption F2555 / exclusion? Since IRS says that in order to qualify, the tax exclusion that has single individual living in a foreign country for 330 days or 12 months or the residence of a bona fide (which I do not really know what that means, bona-fide) Or must I wait until my 12 months working and the file f2555 control I'm so confused, can someone please give me some information or perhaps I should not even file a tax return a all …. but do not want
Please do not talk to H & R Block – which is far about all I can answer what to do. Call 800-829-1040 to IRS and ask to speak with someone who is familiar with foreign income, they can also give you a publication, which can keep you always close to hand. As a U.S. citizen, you must file a calendar year return – that is from January 1 31 December each Year, we can not delay registration until August 2009. The Korean income from August to December will be reported on your tax return 2008th The income from January to August 2009 is reported back on your 2009th Your foreign income excluded from U.S. taxes. They are the credits for any taxes you have to the government paid by Korea are given of these taxes will offset the U.S. taxes you owe on the income. That is why you file for an exclusion of foreign tax, not for Exclude all of your income. In other words, Korean results are never released in your control! Since your Korean employer you must a 'W-2 ", as we know it, the USA, keep a log of the paycheck received. A column of gross salary, a column for each type of deduction and net pay column (ie all balances). Use this protocol to prepare your returns in 2008 and 2009. If you want other local safety net, go to a, legitimate, tax preparer or CPA and tell him / her your task at hand. Let your personal information with them and ask that they prepare your 2008 tax return for you while They are from the country. If you already know where you live, you give them your address and telephone number. Also tell them you will contact them in January with all the necessary information for help with the application. Good luck on your new job – it sounds like a wonderful opportunity to know about another country. Do not let this overwhelm you.
