Who needs a Steuererklärung?
For some people filing a return is mandatory. For others a voluntary return can be worthwhile.
What matters is working out correctly which case applies to you.
-
May be mandatory
When an obligation to file arises
- You received wages from several employers at the same time
- Steuerklasse III and V were used for you and your spouse
- Steuerklasse IV mit Faktor was used
- You had certain additional income
- You received certain Lohnersatzleistungen (wage replacement benefits), for example Arbeitslosengeld I, Krankengeld or Elterngeld
These examples show where an obligation often arises. Amounts, deadlines and circumstances have to be checked individually. Not every Lohnersatzleistung automatically creates an obligation.
In these cases the obligation should definitely be checked.
-
Voluntary may be worthwhile
When there is a chance of getting part of the tax back
- You had significant costs for travelling to work
- You bought equipment or work items for your job
- You attended a professional course or Weiterbildung (further training)
- You changed jobs during the year
- You had work-related travel costs
- You have other deductible costs that were not automatically taken into account in your wages
A voluntary return can be worthwhile if you have deductible costs. A refund is not guaranteed and depends on your case.
A voluntary return can help you get money back.
-
To be checked individually
When the situation depends on several factors
- You have income from outside Germany
- You have income from renting out property
- You receive a pension or other regular income
- Your marital status changed during the year
- The Finanzamt (tax office) asked you to file a return
- You are not sure which rule applies to you
When several factors apply at once, a general list is not enough. A short assessment of your situation is needed to work out the right step.
In such a case an assessment of your personal situation is needed.
