How does the user account work with Lohnsteuer kompakt?

The user account functions similarly to other internet applications. When setting up your account, you provide your email address and a password as login details - no further personal data is required. You will be shown how secure your chosen password is. You will then receive an email in which you must confirm your address by clicking a link.

With your login details, you can edit your tax return from anywhere and at any time. After logging out, you can simply log in from any computer with internet access and continue with your tax return from where you left off.

If you lose your login details, you can easily have a new password sent to your email address.
