Online submission with identification

With online submission with identification, Lohnsteuer kompakt securely and encryptedly transfers your tax data directly to the tax office via the ELSTER interface (SSL connection).

As your data is processed electronically by the administration, a simplified tax return is possible: You usually need to submit fewer documents than with the paper submission.

Identification required before submission

A digital identification is legally required for you to submit the declaration in an authenticated manner (see § 87d Fiscal Code).

Lohnsteuer kompakt is obliged to verify your identity and address before data transfer. Various digital identification methods are available for this purpose.

After submission

After successful submission, you will receive:

• a confirmation of receipt as proof that your tax return has been received by the tax office,
• as well as the compressed tax return as a PDF to document the submitted data.

Document requests by the tax office

If the tax office requests additional documents, you can conveniently submit them directly after submission via the electronic document submission of Lohnsteuer kompakt – without postal delivery.
