@toddswebemail ,
(a) you a US person and having a Tax Home abroad ( which country ? )
(b) you travel to USA on business , working in situ ( USA ) for periods of up to 90 days at a time or in total in a tax year.
(c) your expenses for the Travel ( flight/ ground transportation etc. , housing et. ) expenses are re-imbursed by your employer ( a local entity or foreign branch of an US entity or ?? ) on " show receipt or similar " basis.
Now the question is whether this re-imbursement will count as income subject to US taxes.
Assuming that you are in a country with whom US has a Tax treaty and that you could avail yourself of either Foreign Earned Income exclusion or Foreign Tax credit / deduction etc. this re-imbursement of foreign travel for business ( from the Perspective of that country ) should not become a taxable item for US tax filing.
For a more focused reply please consider answering my questions.
I will circle back once I hear from you.
