Do you want to resubmit your income tax return?

If you have discovered an error in your tax return, you can correct it even after submission. How you proceed depends on whether and how your return has already been submitted to the tax office.

Case 1: Tax return not yet submitted to the tax office

No problem – you can adjust your data in Lohnsteuer kompakt at any time and resubmit the tax return electronically.

The tax office automatically processes the most recently submitted version of your return. No separate notification to the tax office is required.

Case 2: Tax return already submitted electronically (certified or with identification)

In this case, you can also resubmit your tax return to the tax office.

Tip: Inform your local tax office by phone in advance that you are sending a corrected return. This will prevent your original tax case from being processed or the notice being issued.

Case 3: Tax assessment notice already received

If you have already received a tax assessment notice, resubmission is no longer sufficient. In this case, you must formally appeal against the notice to allow for a correction.

You can find a corresponding template in our sample letters under the title: “Appeal due to error”.
