Euro to Indian Currency

You must express amounts on your U.S. tax return in U.S. dollars. This necessitates converting foreign currency, including Euros, into U.S. dollars for reporting income or expenses. Generally, use the prevailing exchange rate (spot rate) on the transaction date.

Qualified Business Units (QBUs) may use a foreign currency as their functional currency. If a QBU’s functional currency isn’t the U.S. dollar, income is determined in that currency and translated to U.S. 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 details. U.S. tax payments must be made in U.S. dollars to the IRS.

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 rate relevant to your specific situation. The exchange rates on the IRS website are not applicable for tax payments. The conversion rate used by the IRS for foreign currency tax payments depends on the bank’s conversion date, not the date the IRS receives the payment.

For unlisted exchange rates, consult governmental resources, external resources on the IRS website relating to foreign currency and exchange rates, or any consistently applied posted rate. To convert foreign currency to U.S. dollars, divide the foreign currency amount by the applicable yearly average exchange rate. Conversely, multiply the U.S. dollar amount by the yearly average exchange rate to convert to foreign currency.
