YOU ARE A MORON BUBS, TRUE IF YOU DON'T OWE TAXES ,YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY, BUT ANY MONIES EARNED ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, IS SUBJECT TO THE US TAX SYSTEM...
Only if they are claimed as earnings in the US. That's the part you're not comprehending. As long as the dividends are left alone in Germany and not claimed as US income, they are not subject to US taxation. The money was earned in Germany not the US. The US can't tax me on money I earn elsewhere unless I bring it to the United States and claim it as income. THEN it can be taxed regardless of where it was earned or otherwise taxed. If I live in the US and receive a dividend check from my German assets, those are taxable income. That is what this stuff you keep posting is talking about and you think it means my income in other countries that is not subject to US taxation, as it is not earned income in the US, nor is it being claimed as such.
It's entirely two different things.
Gawd YOU are a fukn moron Bubs
Many United States (U.S.) citizens and resident aliens receive income from foreign sources. There have been recent reports about the interest of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in taxpayers with accounts in Liechtenstein. The interest of the IRS, however, extends beyond accounts in Liechtenstein to accounts anywhere in the world. Consequently, the IRS reminds you to report your worldwide income on your U.S. tax return.
If you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien, you must report income from all sources within and outside of the U.S. This is true whether or not you receive a Form W-2 Wage and Tax Statement, a Form 1099 (Information Return) or the foreign equivalents. See Publication 525, Taxable and Nontaxable Income for more information.
Additionally, if you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien, the rules for filing income, estate and gift tax returns and for paying estimated tax are generally the same whether you are living in the U.S. or abroad.
Hiding Income Offshore
Not reporting income from foreign sources may be a crime.
Consequences for Evading Taxes on Foreign Source Income
You will face serious consequences if the IRS finds you have unreported income or undisclosed foreign financial accounts. These consequences can include not only the additional taxes, but also substantial penalties, interest, fines and even imprisonment.
Income from Abroad is Taxable
STUPID FUK
You know... when you go to all the trouble of making fonts big and bold, it doesn't do anything but discourage people from reading your post. It is actually very annoying and childish. Almost goofy.
Also, the petty ad homs to lead off every single post and to conclude every post, is redundant. I understand you think I am a "stupid fuk" ...it's understood. Okay? That doesn't make you right about anything and it is not winning this argument for you. I know that you might think that... but you're wrong.
You continue to post IRS warnings about claiming income from foreign sources. I have never once said that I claimed earned income from a foreign source and didn't pay my taxes or didn't owe taxes. I fully understand the tax laws and I pay a lawyer a very nice sum of money to advise me on the tax laws pertaining to my situation. I assure you, my tax paperwork is in order. AND... I know what the hell I'm talking about when it comes to this. You don't seem to have a ripe clue.
DUMBASS SAID:
"I do not earn money from Germany. I have a wealth asset in Germany which gains dividend value each year and is rolled over into the investment and never claimed as income here or there. It can't be taxed until claimed. I could go to Germany and live on that money and never earn a dime and there would be no tax liability here in the US, as the money was not ever earned in the US or claimed as income in the US. My income tax liability was paid in Germany when I earned it. It doesn't become US taxable earned income, again, later."
Taxes on World Wide Income
U.S. Permanent Residents (green card holders) as well as U.S. Citizens must report each year their income earned anywhere in the world. That means your U.S. income tax return must include:
Foreign dividends
- Rental Income Earned Abroad
- Foreign pension income
- Foreign capital gains or losses on stocks, bonds, real estate
- Foreign royalties
-
All other foreign income
