2. You didn't work all 12 months during the year

4. You are a Trainee

5. You are receiving work benefits (Kurzarbeit/reduced pay) due to Covid or other reasons

* without having high deductibles and you actually do your tax return

No, you don't have to at all. You only need to know about your personal and professional situation. And who could do that better than you!

The tax adjustment is made annually in retrospect - ideally between March and June of the year for the previous year (e.g. in March 2022 for the tax year / calendar year 2021). In principle, there is no statutory deadline.

A valid email address and your tax number.
