What is the average exchange rate for the Euro to the Dollar for the tax year 2007?
The IRS has NO official exchange rate. Taxpayers have always been required by Internal Revenue regulations 1.905-3 and 1.988 to translate foreign income into dollars on the date of payment. As a practical matter, a wage earner can use a yearly average with no problem. A self-employed individual usually benefits by converting at the date of payment. The IRS accepts any posted exchange rate that is used consistently.
