Do I need to declare unemployment benefits earned outside the US (from German government, as a resident in Germany) on my US tax declaration?

[MinhT1]

Yes. As a U.S. citizen or resident, you have to report all your worldwide income.

Thank you for the reply! In this case I'm not able to find it within the Turbotax software. There is only a section for US-based unemployment benefits, but nothing for unemployment benefits from abroad. Would I just sum this together with the foreign earned income?

No. You will enter it in the regular Unemployment section then when you get to the Payer Info you will Select Foreign Country for type of mailing address, then select Germany for the country.  To enter your Unemployment Income you select the following:

• Federal
• Income and Expenses
• Show More next to Unemployment
• Start Next to Unemployment and Paid Family Leave
