Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hello,

 

I have a question regarding this. The Germany-US Tax treaty article 20 (3) says:

"Payment other than compensation for personal services that a person who is or was immediately before visiting a Contracting State a resident of the other Contracting State receives as a grant, allowance, or award from a non-profit religious, charitable, scientific, literary, or educational private organization or a comparable public institution shall not be taxed in the first-mentioned State."

This means that if I was a resident of Germany immediately before coming to the US (and actually for a while during my stay in the US, but now not anymore in my case) I can claim this tax treaty , right?
