@gsta , to clear my understanding-->

 

1. you are a citizen of xx country; you are  Resident of USA and have been in the USA for considerable time;

2. You have US source income reported on W-2;

3. You have  self-employed income from customers/clients  in one or more  countries in Europe;

4.  You have Bank account in Europe ( country XX )  and your clients deposit  the payments  into this  account  ( foreign bank )

 

From  US  perspective,  

(a)     since the work in actually done in the USA  ( please confirm that  you actually live and  work in the USA and generally  do the work for the foreign client on-line with perhaps  occasional  visits thereto ). it is  US sourced income and not foreign income   for tax purposes.

(b) if the  foreign jurisdiction taxed this income as  in-country sourced  earnings of a non-resident, then  there are mechanisms to change the sourcing of the income  -- but  absent  other facts  this does not seem  necessary.

(c)  However, because you are holding the monies in a foreign account, you may come under the reporting requirements of  FBAR and FATCA.

(d) As far as reporting / recognizing the foreign income, all you do is declare these incomes as self-employment income ( Schedule-C ) and allowable expenses associated  with this income stream,  pay self-employment tax ( Schedule-SE ) and that is all.   TurboTax  ( Self-emloyment or  Home & Business  ) will do all the necessary  work for you on this.

 

Is there more I can do for  you ?
