Prop k-1s and FEIE
- Thread starter trader59
- Start date
this is a grey area, but have gotten some counsel in the past that said as long as you can prove income was generated from invesmtent/trading, it should be good.
might want to talk to green, he was working with a law firm about an opinion they were writing up for a decent offshore firm that were going through an onshore k1 setup. from what i hear, they were given the green-light.

Quote from trader59:
Does anyone know if the k-1 income from a prop firm qualifies for Foreign Earned Income Exemption, or it does not since it is a partnership distribution of a USA-based LLC?
if u stay outside of the US for 330 days then it should, im also interested in this topic, anyone else in the know?
