Yesterday the IRS published average currency exchange rates for 2025. These average rates are used:

  • On Schedules H and M of Form 5471,
  • To convert local currency Subpart F Income and GILTI tested income amounts into U.S. dollars. Code §989(b)(3), and
  • To convert GILTI inclusion amounts back into the functional currency of the CFCs. See Form 8992, Schedule A, Column (l) and Treas. Reg. §1.951A-5(b)(3).

We also use these average rates to convert from local currency to U.S. dollars on Schedule C (Income Statement) of Form 5471.

For whatever currency you use, I would double check the average rate for reasonableness. As of today, the IRS page shows the 2024 Euro average rate of "0,924" and the 2023 Euro average rate of "0.924". I don't have a copy of what the IRS web page used to look like, but I suspect that the average Euro rate was not the exact same amount for 2023 and 2024.

The Treasury Department has also published year-end currency exchange rates for 2025. These year-end exchange rates are used:

  • On Form 8938, and
  • On the FBAR.

We also use these year-end rates to convert from local currency to U.S. dollars on Schedule F (Balance Sheet) of Form 5471. For example, we use the December 31, 2024 year-end rate to convert the 2025 beginning of the year balance sheet and the December 31, 2025 year-end rate to convert the 2025 end of the year balance sheet. You can access the year-end exchange rates from our exchange rates page.
