Check your tax assessment notice

Even in the age of ELSTER, the tax assessment from the tax office can be incorrect. It is therefore important to check your tax assessment carefully to avoid losing money.

Whether you receive a refund of overpaid taxes or have to make additional payments is shown in the assessment table. You should check whether the amounts paid for income tax, church tax, and the solidarity surcharge match the data you submitted.

Before checking the calculation, you should definitely verify your personal data, including your bank details. It would be very annoying if your tax refund did not reach your account due to a typing error.

After the personal information, there is an overview of the tax calculation details. Check these points carefully as well.
