Deductions & credits

@ErnieS0 

 

Thanks Ernie for your time and response, I appreciate it very much.

 

I am still unclear about one thing: If I pay taxes in Germany first on my dividends, they will tax me 26% (since there was no withholding as a US citizen). Then If I file in USA and claim the taxes paid as FTC, where will USA get its share of taxes on the dividends (I believe the US/Germay tax treaty give USA right to tax upto 15% tax on dividends). 

If you have a moment, can you clarify that. 

Once again, thanks for your help.
