In response to bine22, the "US-German Tax Treaty" is exactly why I need to declare this income to IRS here in the US, because I am a Resident Alien and the payment was made after I moved here and been working here, AND in the FY2016 I only lived and worked in the US and had no income or employment in Germany. I'm following one of the Q&A found here "Under the US - Germany tax treaty, you will need to include this foreign pension income on your US income tax return." <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="
