[QUOTE="Silverback, post: 75828939, member: 417258"] Check the status of forces agreement between Germany and the United States. I expect it will say German military personnel will pay German taxes, and the US military personnel will pay US tax. The SOFA covers them while in the United States, that should be the end of it. However, having dual citizenship could make the situation more complicated, since the US taxes foreign income after a certain amount is earned...which differs from country to country. Additionally, even if your income is below the taxable income level, you still have to file a return, which declares your income, this is a complex procedure, which usually involves a tax attorney, or an accountant that specializes in this. If it were me, I would email the IRS, explaine the situation, if you get a "I don't know response" take a screenshot shot, file it away, and move forward, IMHO, you have done your due diligence. Enjoy your stay in the US. [/QUOTE]
