    Taxes on Foreign Earned Income
    If I am an employee of a foreign company (I am a US citizen residing in that country). I pay taxes in the foreign country. They do not issue a w-2 or 1099 because they are not a US company. Am I required to include this income in my US tax forms and if so where and is it subject to US income tax?

    I am immigrated from Germany in 2007 as a permanent resident and I have the same issue. I know I have to include my German taxes in my US tax statements. But I did not find the right form to do this.

    Can someone help me with this problem?
