Euro to Dollar Exchange

You must declare amounts on your US tax return in US dollars. This necessitates converting foreign currency, such as Euros, into US dollars if you earn income or incur expenses in a foreign currency. Generally, use the prevailing exchange rate (the spot rate) on the transaction date.

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

Foreign currency gains or losses may need to be recognized on certain transactions. Refer to Section 988 of the Internal Revenue Code and its regulations for detailed information. US tax payments must be made in US dollars to the IRS.

The conversion rate for foreign currency tax payments is determined by the bank processing the payment on the conversion date, not the date the IRS receives it.
