    How to report foreing based income in dual status?
    I moved into the US in March and have a work Visa starting the day I arrived.

    I know I can file dual status, and know how to file my US-Income, but how do I report my foreign income that I received when I was living abroad (non-resident alien)?

    Reading through other posts, the foreign income is not subject to US taxes, but where do I have to report is and which forms to use?

    Thank you so much!

    You do NOT have to report the foreign-based income. All you have to report is the U.S.-based income earned while living abroad.
