My husband came on a K1 visa in May, and we got married in June. He worked in Germany until he came to the US at the end of May. He got his green card in Sept and didn't work in the US during 2011. I'm trying to file our taxes and need help knowing if there's anything we need to do with his work in Germany on our US income tax return.

The way I see it, he didn't make have any overseas income after he became a US Resident alien hence there is no need to report that. One thing that you would need to file taxes on is interest/dividend income from his overseas accounts if he has any. Also, if he has any overseas accounts that aggregate to $10,000 any point in the year, he needs to declare them. This is separate from the tax filing. He needs to submit an FBAR which is a Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts. The form number is TD F 90-22.1.
