Last year I received a six months research scholarship from DAAD within a collaboration with a Germany university. The total grant was around 21550 Euros. At the same time I was receiving my monthly wage from the USA. A scholarship in [Germany is tax free][1] as well as in the [USA][2], however, I am bit concerned because at the same time I had my salary. In this case is the scholarship tax free? Do I have to submit a tax declaration in Germany and pay the tax of [1907 Euros][3] there, as my salary is taxed in the USA, and apply for "Foreign Earned Income Exclusion" in the USA? Or I just file my tax clearance in the USA?
