[Poohbah]

So section 861 and its regulations doesn't actually apply to determining taxable income from sources within the United States, even though that's what it says it's for?

It does apply to determining taxable income from sources within the United States...but it's for one very limited application. Namely, you must be a non-US citizen living outside the United States.

Poohbah - can you cite the provision of law or regulation that specifies that section 861 only applies to non-US citizens living outside the United States?

Thanks, I appreciate it!
