    Pension refund from Germany taxable in US ?
    I worked in Germany from 2003-2005. From 2007 I am working in US. I received a notification of refund of pension contribution from Germany today. My question is that whether this is taxable in US for any years from 2007- ? (My assumption is that it is not taxable since during the time I made the pension contribution, I was not a US tax resident/non-resident).
