Tax Return
Generally, items of income or expense that are equally earned or paid throughout the year (such as wages, interest, real estate taxes, etc) should use the annual average exchange rate. For 2011, the average annual exchange rates are:
0.9230 CHF/USD
0.7480 Euro/USD
0.6490 GBP/USD
Other items of income or expense that are not earned or paid equally throughout the year (such as dividends, stock transactions, moving expenses, etc. ) should use the exchange rate on the day the income was received or the payment was made. You can use any large bank or online exchange rate calculator to determine the daily exchange rate. We use the Federal Reserve Bank rates.
