Income sourcing is a foundational consideration for nonresident taxpayers, as it largely dictates their United States income tax exposures. Within the confines of “trade or business” and “permanent establishment” rules sourcing takes on added importance. This program will provide detail on how the most common income types – interest, dividends, personal services, rents and royalties – are sourced for United States tax purposes. The program will also detail specific rules for pensions held by multinationals – looking to how the income is sourced and taxed by the United States. Date of recording: 1/23/2025
