Taxes on moving funds out of the US

[Julian95]

I am German. I moved to the US last year. If I move back to Europe in 5 years are there tax implications I should be aware of for moving large amount of funds? If I send large sums of money back to Germany, are there taxes coming up somewhere? If I transfer all my stocks to a European broker, I should not need to pay any taxes on those is that correct?

Moving funds and selling funds are different things. Sending money is not a taxable issue. Transfer of stock can often mean the sale of the stock to move to a different broker. Sale of stock would have tax implications. Be cautious when you reach this point.
