USD Euro Exchange Rate

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

Qualified Business Units (QBUs) are an exception. QBUs can often use a foreign currency. If your QBU’s functional currency isn’t the US dollar, determine all income in that functional currency and translate it using the appropriate exchange rate.

You might also need to recognize foreign currency gain or loss on certain transactions. Refer to Section 988 of the Internal Revenue Code and its regulations. Foreign currency tax payments must be remitted to the IRS in US dollars. The IRS uses the bank’s conversion rate on the processing date, not the date the IRS receives the payment.

The IRS doesn’t have an official exchange rate and generally accepts any consistently used posted rate. For countries with multiple exchange rates, use the one relevant to your circumstances.

For yearly averages of currencies not listed below, consult governmental resources, external resources found on the “Foreign Currency and Currency Exchange Rates” page, or any consistently applied posted rate.
