Deductions & credits
I have somewhat similar problem with the correct treatment of a us-source income under tax treaties. I am a US citizen, who lives in Germany (hence my tax home is Germany). I receive a company pension, which is a US-source income. The US-German tax treaty contains Article 23 (Relief from Double Taxation), which is excluded from the saving clause of the treaty. So I can use the benefits provided by this Article. However the language of this Article is quite heavy and difficult to understand for me. For this reason I cannot understand, if I have the right under this treaty to re-source my company pension and treat it as a German source income. If this is allowed, I can fill out the relevant 1116 and get FTC for my US tax. Could somebody clarify this situation please?
