I have searched the site and have not found an answer for this specific question so far, so apologies if it has been posted.
Contributions to SEP-IRA or 401K in the US. If you receive a tax benefit on US taxes (reduce AGI for contributions to SEP-IRA or non-tax contribution to 401K) can you also receive a tax benefit in Germany for these contributions? Or is it the case that you can only claim a benefit in one country?
Assuming tax resident for Germany and claiming FTC for US.
Also, looking for a knowledgeable Steuerberater in Germany that has experience & patience with expats from US.
