Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@birdatiel31 , having gone through the above conversation and generally agreeing with @VolvoGirl -->

1. You as a  US citizen/Resident report this foreign income as if it is earned in the USA  ( self-employment / consultant/sole proprietor ) on  Schedule - C.

2. The gross income(s)    and the associated  expenses ( for this stream and any other self-employment  incomes)   are all shown on Schedule-C.  All you have to do is to tell the  TurboTax that you have self-employment income or business income -- it will walk you through the rest.

3.Your contractor/"employer", needs to provide you a statement showing the total amount of remuneration paid to you.  They can use an official statement or tax form used in the local country -- you need this for your back-up ( if the IRS questions the income ).

4. If ( not likely in this case ) the foreign govt. charges  you any taxes on this income, then  that amount may be eligible  for foreign tax credit / deduction.

If you need more on this , please feel welcome to ask ( in comments )
