I am an American resident in Germany. I receive an IRA distribution , which is taxed by Germany. Can I take a tx credit / deduction for these Gm. taxes?

turbotax seems to hinge on "foreign income", which this isn't, but Germany taxes it anyway.  The way I read the tax treaty it should be taxed by the Germans and refunded in some amount by the Americans (so as not to be  double taxed on the same thing).
