What is the taxation of foreign income?

In Utah, foreign income is taxed according to the same guidelines that apply to domestic income. However, foreign income may be subject to different tax rates and allowances than domestic income due to different laws in the foreign country. For example, a U.S. resident who earns income from a foreign country may not be able to deduct the same amount of money as they would for income earned from within the U.S. Utah residents who have income from foreign sources must report that income on their federal tax returns in U.S. dollars. This includes income from wages, salaries, investments, and businesses. The foreign income must be reported regardless of whether or not the taxpayer owes any taxes on it. When a taxpayer is filing their Utah state return, they must include any foreign earned income if they chose to exclude it on their federal return. In certain cases, the foreign income may be eligible for a reduced tax rate or other tax benefits. The taxpayer should research the specific laws of the country in which the income was earned to determine if there are any tax breaks that can be applied. There are other special rules and regulations that apply to the taxation of foreign income in Utah, so it is important to speak with a qualified tax professional if you have any questions.
