My wife is a German citzen and receives a small German pension. Must I enter her retirement income and where and how do I enter it into our joint filing.

Is my wife's income taxable

[bine22]

If you live in the US, you would enter her German pension just like US social security income on a SSA1099 (assuming it's from the Rentenversicherung). The pension is not taxable in Germany (Germany-US Tax Treaty). The opposite is true, if you live in Germany
