US Dollar to Euro Exchange Rate

However, there’s an exception for certain Qualified Business Units (QBUs). QBUs can often use a foreign currency. If a QBU’s functional currency isn’t the US dollar, income calculations are made in that functional currency and translated to US dollars using the appropriate exchange rate.

You might also need to recognize foreign currency gain or loss on specific transactions. Refer to Section 988 of the Internal Revenue Code and its regulations for details. US tax payments must be made in US dollars to the IRS.

The IRS doesn’t have an official exchange rate and generally accepts any consistently used posted rate. When dealing with a country with multiple exchange rates, use the one relevant to your situation.
