Field help: (2020) Did you receive income from pensions or pension contracts?
(Forms R, R-AUS, R-AV/bAV)

Select Yes if you received a pension in 2020.

In the section "Pension income" you can declare:

• Pensions from the German Pension Insurance (Deutsche Rentenversicherung),
• Pensions from agricultural pension funds,
• Pensions from occupational pension schemes,
• Private pensions (including bereavement pensions, occupational disability pensions) and
• Pension provision contracts (e.g. pension funds (Pensionsfonds, Pensionskasse), direct insurance policies).

If both spouses received a pension, each spouse will need to complete and submit the Form R separately.

Pensions, e.g. company pensions, for which you have received an employment tax statement, are to be entered in the "Income as an employee" section.
