Per the IRS it seems the income is subject to income tax but not self-employment tax:
Green Card Holders (Lawful Permanent Resident)
If you are a green card holder working for a foreign government or international organization, you generally must report your earnings as wages but are not subject to self-employment taxes on those earnings and may not voluntarily pay self-employment tax on those earnings.
As such, you should enter it in TurboTax by using the following tabs:
- Wages and Income
- Less common income
- Foreign earned income and exclusion
- Did you make income outside the United States? (yes)
- What form was income reported on? (stmt from foreign employer)
Enter your World Bank wages and work through the rest of the questions. Indicate that you want to try to exclude your foreign income, but then later say you did not live outside the US if that is true.
The result will be the income will appear on line 1 of form 1040 as wages, but no self-employment or social security tax will be charged.
