How do I report Australian wages on Form 1040, considering I have already converted the currency on the PAYG summary? I was present in Australia from July 15, 2012, to January 2015, and made $2,800 with $300 withheld tax paid to Australia in 2013, and $27,000 with $3,000 withheld tax paid to Australia in 2014. Should I use Line 7, Form 2555, and Form 1116? My parents gave me more than 1/2 support in 2013 but did not claim me, and I had no home in the US except my parents' house. In 2013, I had no other substantial income other than a $10 dividend from Merrill Lynch, but 2014 requires filing.

You should report your Australian wages on Line 7 of Form 1040, just like you would report US wages....

As a US permanent resident (Norwegian citizen) moving to Norway permanently, I have a fully vested 401k. Should I roll it over to an IRA and keep the account open as a Norwegian citizen to receive distributions at 59 1/2, or take an early distribution and pay the 10% penalty plus federal and state income taxes? How will this be affected by my status as a nonresident alien and Norwegian tax laws?

My daughter, who has severe disabilities and is 21 years old, receives a monthly SSI payment for her to apply towards her room and board here at home. Am I supposed to claim this as income for tax purposes? Since I don't receive an IRS form regarding it, it didn't cross my mind that I might need to claim it as income.

I'm a Canadian citizen living in the USA since 04/2014 with a temporary work visa. I'm selling my house in Canada. What are the tax implications of bringing my money to the US to buy a house here? Does my residency status change in the US? I understand it does in Canada. Do I have to pay any taxes if I sell the house in the US and take my money back to Canada?
