You must express the amounts you report on your U.S. tax return in U.S. dollars. Therefore, you must translate foreign currency into U.S. dollars if you receive income or pay expenses in a foreign currency. In general, use the exchange rate prevailing (i.e., the spot rate) when you receive, pay or accrue the item.
The IRS lists a few yearly exchange rates on the IRS Yearly Average Currency Exchange Rates page. Review this link for further details that may be important for your situation.
