4563 Exclusion of Income for Bona Fide Residents of American

Note: The draft you are looking for begins on the next page.

Caution: DRAFT—NOT FOR FILING

This is an early release draft of an IRS tax form, instructions, or publication,
which the IRS is providing for your information. Do not file draft forms. We
incorporate all significant changes to forms posted with this coversheet.
However, unexpected issues occasionally arise, or legislation is passed—in this
case, we will post a new draft of the form to alert users that changes were made
to the previously posted draft. Thus, there are never any changes to the last
posted draft of a form and the final revision of the form. Forms and instructions
are subject to OMB approval before they can be officially released, so we post
drafts of them until they are approved. Drafts of instructions and pubs usually
have some additional changes before their final release. Early release drafts are
at IRS.gov/DraftForms and remain there after the final release is posted at
IRS.gov/LatestForms. Also see IRS.gov/Forms.
Most forms and publications have a page on IRS.gov: IRS.gov/Form1040 for
Form 1040; IRS.gov/Pub501 for Pub. 501; IRS.gov/W4 for Form W-4; and
IRS.gov/ScheduleA for Schedule A (Form 1040), for example, and similarly for
other forms, pubs, and schedules for Form 1040. When typing in a link, type it
into the address bar of your browser, not a Search box on IRS.gov.
If you wish, you can submit comments to the IRS about draft or final forms,
instructions, or pubs at IRS.gov/FormsComments. Include “NTF” followed by the
form or pub number (for example, “NTF1040”, “NTFW4”, “NTF501”, etc.) in the
body of the message to route your message properly. We cannot respond to all
comments due to the high volume we receive and may not be able to consider
many suggestions until the subsequent revision of the product, but we will
review each “NTF” message. If you have comments on reducing paperwork and
respondent (filer) burden, with respect to draft or final forms, please respond to
the relevant information collection through the Federal Register process; for

year and your income was:

• Effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business
in American Samoa.

amounts paid to you for services you performed as an employee
of the U.S. Government or any of its agencies. This applies to
both civilian and military employees, but does not include

Part II—Figure Your Exclusion
On lines 7 through 14 include only income that is from sources
within American Samoa or effectively connected with the
conduct of a trade or business in American Samoa. For details
on how to determine the source of income, see Source of
income next.
Source of income. The rules for determining the source of
income are explained in sections 861 through 865 and section
937, Regulations section 1.937-2, and chapter 2 of Pub. 570.
Some general rules are the following.
Cat. No. 12909U

Form 4563 (Rev. 9-2024)

Page 2

Form 4563 (Rev. 9-2024)

• The source of wages, salaries, or tips is generally where the
services are performed. If you worked both in and outside
American Samoa, include on line 7 only wages, salaries, or tips
earned while you were in American Samoa.
De minimis exception. This is an exception to the general
rule for determining the source of income earned in American
Samoa. Generally, income from American Samoa does not
include compensation for services performed in American
Samoa if during the tax year you:
• Were a U.S. citizen or resident;
• Were not a bona fide resident of American Samoa;
• Were not employed by or under contract with an individual,
partnership, or corporation that is engaged in a trade or
business in American Samoa;
• Temporarily performed services in American Samoa for 90
days or less; and
• Earned $3,000 or less from such services.
Active duty U.S. Armed Forces. If you are a bona fide
resident of American Samoa and are stationed outside that
territory, your military compensation will be sourced in American
Samoa under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA). If you
are not a bona fide resident of American Samoa but perform
services in the territory, however, your military compensation
will not be sourced there. For further details, see Pub. 570.
Military spouses. If you are the civilian spouse of a member
of the U.S. Armed Forces, work in American Samoa, and retain
a residence or domicile in one of the 50 states or the District of
Columbia under the Military Spouses Residency Relief Act
(MSRRA), your wages, salaries, tips, and self-employment
income will not be considered income from American Samoa.
Under MSRRA, the military spouse must be in American Samoa
solely to be with their service member spouse who is serving in
compliance with military orders. For details on MSRRA, see
Pub. 570.
• The source of interest income is generally where the payer is
located. For example, American Samoan source income
includes interest from a certificate of deposit issued by a bank
or branch of a U.S. bank in American Samoa.
• Generally, dividends are sourced where the paying
corporation is created or organized.
• Alimony received from a person who is a bona fide resident of
American Samoa is sourced in American Samoa.
• Except as provided in regulations, income from sources within
the United States or effectively connected with the conduct of a
trade or business in the United States is not income from
American Samoa.
• The source of gains, profits, or income from the sale or
disposition of real property (and any interest in real property) is
generally where the real property is located.
Personal property. The source of income from the sale of
nondepreciable personal property is generally the seller’s
residence. For example, if you are a bona fide resident of
American Samoa, gain from the sale or disposition of personal
property is generally from sources within American Samoa.
Income from the sale of inventory is generally sourced where
the title to the property passes. See section 865 for details.

Filing Form 1040 or 1040-SR
To exclude your qualifying income from American Samoa,
complete Form 4563 and attach it to your tax return.
Income you must report on Form 1040 or 1040-SR. You must
report on your tax return your worldwide income for the tax year
that does not qualify for the exclusion. The source of that
income does not matter.
Deductions and credits you cannot take on Form 1040 or
1040-SR. If you claim the exclusion, you cannot take any
deduction or credit on your tax return that is definitely related to
the excluded income.
Deductions and credits that are not definitely related to a
particular type of income must be allocated between your
excluded income and your other income to find the amount you
can take on your tax return. Examples of deductions that are not
definitely related to a particular type of income are:
• The standard deduction; and
• Certain itemized deductions such as medical and dental
expenses, gifts to charity, and real estate taxes and mortgage
interest on your personal residence.
For more details, including how to figure the amount allocable
to the excluded income, see chapter 4 of Pub. 570.
If you were a bona fide resident of American Samoa
for the entire tax year, or were considered a bona fide
resident of American Samoa for the entire tax year
CAUTION
under the special rules for the year of a move (see
chapter 1 of Pub. 570), but not a U.S. citizen or resident, certain
credits and deductions may not be available to you. See
Nonresident alien under Bona Fide Resident of American Samoa
in chapter 3 of Pub. 570 for specific information.
Self-employed individuals. If you were self-employed and
your net earnings from self-employment were $400 or more,
you will generally have to pay self-employment tax on those
earnings even though you can exclude the earnings from your
gross income. Use Schedule SE (Form 1040) to figure any selfemployment tax due.
