Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@Juancar , having gone through all that you pointed out ( refs) and the statutes I mentioned earlier,  think your best bet is to  recognize the  incomes  and pay the taxes as you see it ----  the amounts accrued  or  credited to your account by the last day of 2024  -- for 2024 tax year.  Thus for an 18 month  CD opened  in Say June of 2024, would require you to recognize  six months worth of  interest  by 12/31/2024.  You can use daily, monthly or quarterly  methods, just use the same discipline for all the CDs.  Keep all your documentation  ( on how you came to the  earned interest figures and exchange rates involved ), just in case there is a challenge  ( very unlikely ).

Also note that  any/all  bank accounts  or CDs etc. come under FBAR  ( form 114  at FinCen.gov and on-line only ) and FATCA ( form 8938 along with your return ).

 

Sorry to took so long to  help -- forgive
