    Working outside US/GA, F500
    Hi ATE

    I have a question about F500, Schedule 3.
    I have earned wages working abroad along 2006 (my US company assigned me outside US).
    These wages are part of my W-2.
    I did not pass the SPT, so I’m nonresident alien.

    I would really appreciate if you could help me:
    a. Do I have to enter that “outside US wages” in any of the Schedule 3 columns (A,B,C)?
    b. Do I have to enter my savings account interest in any of the Schedule 3 columns (A,B,C)?
    c. If not, Do I have to enter those amounts at least in Column B?

    Thanks for you kindness!

    Arely:

    a. Yes, you HAVE to enter it in Column A, since they are part of your W-2 wages. If you earned the income before you became a GA resident, put it in Column B. If not, put it in C.

    b. Yes, for Column A. Yes for Column C if the interest was earned while living in Georgia.

    c. If not in C, then in B.

    Thank You, ATE

    I have got another question related to 1040NR, line 8.
    As I mentioned, all my wages are shown in my w-2 form.
    Additionally, I spent most of the 2006, performing services outside US.

    I have read some where that I am subject to taxes just in the amount related to services inside US.

    Then, Can I prorate the w-2 amount considering inside US vs outside US days? I guess I could get some taxes back if that's true.

    Best Regards,
    Arely.

    If you are reporting income on Form 1040NR, then you are subject to U.S. taxes ONLY on U.S.-sourced income. If your employer is based in the U.S. then the W-2 income is ALL U.S.-souyrced and you have to pay taxes on all of it.

    If the employer is NOT a U.S. company, then you can pro-rate the income.
