Yes, you need to file a US and Germany tax return, if your income was earned in Germany. If you have lived outside of the US at least 330 days, you can exclude from Federal Tax up to $105,900.
If you cannot exclude your earnings from US tax you can take a credit for any tax you paid to Germany on your US tax return.
To exclude your income from US tax you report your income in TurboTax
- Wages & Income
- Less Common Income
- Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion
If you do not qualify for the exclusion then to take the credit for Foreign Tax Paid go to:
- Deductions & Credits
- Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
- Foreign Taxes
