Tax questions - really dumb ones...
Hi all,
I looked back through the tags and found a post that asked some of my exact questions. Amusingly, it was my own post from last year: http://community.livejournal.com/brits_americans/1335751.html?nc=23
So thanks to everyone who answered last year (nutshell: I am a full time student in the UK, need to file for FAFSA). Last year I didn't make enough money to have to file, but this year I do. So my follow-up dumb question:
I'm used to filing my own taxes with W-2s, etc. I think I can figure this out using the Form 2555 and my payrolls statements. But how do you figure the rate of exchange, which shifts fairly drastically towards the end of the year. Is there an average figure that the IRS gives somewhere?
thanks!
