U.S. citizens are taxed on worldwide income, so you’ll file the same way you always have when you lived in the U.S.
The IRS has no part-year tax status for U.S. citizens. If you lived in a state with an income tax, you can file a part-year state return and report only the income you received while living in that state.
Because all your income is taxed by the U.S., you can claim a foreign tax credit on dividend income double-taxed by Germany.
- Type foreign tax credit in Search (magnifying glass) in the upper right corner
- Select Jump to foreign tax credit
- Complete the screens to claim either the credit or deduction
For more help: Where do I enter the foreign tax credit (Form 1116) or deduction?
