All your common tax questions, answered.
Do I need to file US income tax if I live in Germany?
Yes. All U.S. citizens and green card holders must file a U.S. federal income tax return, even if they live abroad. Certain exclusions (like the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion) may reduce your taxable income, but filing is still required.
What if I live in a “no income tax” state in the USA?
If your home state has no income tax (like Texas or Florida), you may not need to file a state return. I’ll check your residency rules carefully to make sure you’re not paying unnecessary state taxes.
How does US taxation work for military stationed overseas?
Military pay is generally taxable by the U.S., even while abroad. However, special rules apply for combat pay, PCS moves, and overseas housing allowances. I specialize in U.S. military tax filings in Germany and can ensure you don’t miss benefits.
Should I file MFJ or MFS?
I’ll help you decide between Married Filing Jointly (MFJ) or Married Filing Separately (MFS). The choice affects credits, deductions, and sometimes state tax obligations.
What if I am stationed in another European country?
I work with service members and expats across Europe. Whether you’re in Germany, Italy, Belgium, or another NATO country, I’ll make sure your U.S. tax return is filed correctly.
