Greetings Tax Community!
Hoping to find clarity.
Last year I married a Filipina citizen. She remains a non resident alien and lives in the Philippines. I'm electing to file married and jointly. I'm also electing to treat my wife as a US Citizen for tax purposes.
Her Filipina sister is also a non resident alien, who lives in Taiwan, gives my wife a monthly living stipend. My wife is raising her sister's baby and her sister gives her a child care stipend. There is no contract and my wife is not her employee. My wife claims no income for Philippines taxes.
In addition together they are building a house in thr Phillipines. Her sister sends my wife money to pay the contractors. The house is not in my wife's name.
Would any of these overseas non us income sources be considered taxable?
