What is foreign earned income? Foreign earned income is an amount which you
receives for the services that you ‘render’ or ‘deliver’ during a period when your tax home is in a foreign country. Such earned income includes salaries and wages, bonuses, commissions, professional fees, and pass-through income from an S corporation. However, such earned doesn’t include like interests, capital gains, dividends, and pensions as these are not received after rendering services. They can be a part of the profit earned but not in foreign earned income. Visit us:- http://www.htj.tax/
