Deductions & credits

Thank you for the very fast reply!

I am pretty sure I will get a tax credit from germany, as I am in a tax bracket for a full annual salary, but have only worked for 6 months. So Germany kept more taxes then they should have.

 

Do I understand your answer below correctly that I always have to enter both: foreign income, as well as foreign taxes paid?

 

Regarding the foreign taxes paid: 

There is income tax, social security tax, even church tax that's deducted in Germany. Would turbotax differentiate between all those tax types or would i enter a lump sum for all german taxes paid combined?

 

And what supporting documents do I need to provide? Of course they are all in German...

Thank you!
