everything is the same as was last year: Russian citizenship, Green card and residence in the US, German postdoc fellowship from a non-university research organization, no other income, filing taxes jointly with my husband, who has a W-2.
The fellowship is tax free in Germany because a) it does not exceed an amount necessary to fulfil the research task or/and to cover living expenses and training needs b) the recipient is not obliged to perform a specific employee activity in connection with the grant.
