Source of Income
United States persons (including citizens, residents, and U.S. corporations) are generally subject to U.S. federal income tax on their worldwide income. Foreign persons (i.e., persons who are not U.S. persons) are subject to U.S. federal income tax only on income from a U.S. business and certain income from United States sources. Source of income is determined based on the type of income. The source of compensation income is the place where the services giving rise to the income were performed. The source of certain income, such as dividends and interest, is based on location of the residence of the payor. The source of income from property is based on the location where the property is used. Significant additional rules apply.
