Financial question for the tax savvy

[capnflyright]

Working for a foreign owned company and paid by said company. Money is wired to an American account. No W-2s or paystubs and no W-9 filled out. Does this fall under a 1049 filing or how does this work when there is no salary information? Thank you for any info.

 

[Say Again Over]

See a specialist, my guess is that as a US. citizen, you must claim your world-wide income, the US has over two hundred treaties with different governments that indicate your tax rate, if the country the income is originating from, has no treaty, it falls into the 30% tax rate. Is the income tax paid, or tax free? If you pay tax in the foreign country, you're in good shape, if not, you must pay US tax, one loophole would be if you are out of the country for 330 days or more each year, if so, you can bring in about $85K tax free.

Disclaimer, that's how I understand it, see a tax specialist that deals with foreign income.
