I have a US citizen client that works for the UN and was transferred to a UN office in South America Jun 2022. My understanding is that she is not subject to FICA/Self-employment taxes on her income earned outside of the US. The UN provides a Statement of Income and not a W2 or 1099. Outside of calculating her income outside of the US and excluding it from self employment tax, what other forms should I be including?

Happily, I haven’t seen a UN statement in 4-5 years.
my recollection is the instructions say report income on line 1 as wages (if you can make the software do it… at the time we could not). Ended up reporting on sch c with SE. The Employee was able to file with UN to get reimbursed for SE tax and did.
No idea if this is still applicable. UN is PITA.
2 other useless notes… while no W2 or 1099, the UN does report the income to IRS…The UN tax help was nonexistent
Good luck… hopefully someone else here can help

Thank you for your feedback. Very helpful.
Sounds like nothing changed. Looks like Sch c (at least for the US portion) Tp gets reimbursed by UN. No idea how to deal w foreign piece but may be excluded.
i tried it years ago on (then) line 7. TP got letter from IRS… had to submit sch c tand we to un for reimbursement… PITA.
