Great content Ahsan, thanks! I'd love to see a tutorial on submitting dividend income, especially from foreign investments outside EU. Take care!

[Africanminds]

i am relieved and many thanks for such a detailed video. Please, stay that way by providing such useful information especially for thoise of us who have difficult speaking, reading and understanding German language. Out of curiosity, how long did it take you learn the langauge and at what level of the language are?

Great vid. Make another video on how to submit freelancer information as well

[ramuramasamy]

Good information! Can you please do a video on Anlage KAP and Anlage AUS for capital gains from abroad? It will be really helpful.

[khurramshahzad-stut]

Really helpful. Please add another video with filling TAX of ETFs and stocks traded over Trade Republic or other app.

Hi Ahsan, Thank you for creating an informative video. I have a question regarding filling out a form for the year 2021. During that year, I lived in Munich, but currently, I reside in Frankfurt. For the section 'Neue Steuernummer beantragen, ' should I select Munich or Frankfurt?

[kavishrastogi]

Thanks bro, this is very informative and very useful. I have a question, can we also upload our financial proofs in elster? for example and bills

[vitaliiivanov]

Dear Ahsan,
We really need a tutorial for Crypto and especially NFT related taxes!
I am currently planing to use Koinly for the next crypto tax declaration.
Will be really glad if u can make a video-explainer on this topic!

Thanks for making detailed video. it's very helpful who doesn't understand German well.
Just one que - do I have to attach the proofs of claims (such as travel train tickets to office, certification bills, transferred amount to family in other country) while submission? or I have to provide these documents when FinanzAmt ask for it later? If former is true and let's say if I forgot to attach, will FinanzAmt simply reject my application or will they communicate to provide missing documents?

For the Parent Support what should be the identification number. This seems to be a mandatory field. In India we just have PAN numbers

[DiliyaMima]

Great content Ahsan, would you please make a video on Anlage KAP?
Btw i am on klasse 1, I submitted my first return of 2021 in 2022 but did not submit for the later years. Is the rule valid for submitting the last 4 years meaning submitting 2022 return now or is the rule only for the first timers?
If not, would it only be possible at this point with the help of Steuerberater? Mine would be freiwillig and I havent gotten any reminder later or whatsoever from Finanzamt.

What about when the capital income (fix rate) is from abroad and it already paid taxes and there is a double taxation agreement? What should be filled? KAP-INV?

[ubaidayousaf]

Hey Ahsan, thanks for the step-by-step tutorial. I have been living in Germany for 4 years now. I finished my Masters in 2021 and started my PhD in 2022. I have a question about filling out my tax return for the year 2022. I got married in August 2022 to a British citizen in Scotland and they came to live with me in Germany in November 2022. My marriage was registered in Germany in Feb 2023. Now, should I write married in the marital status or single for the tax return for the year 2022? Also what are the ways to contact you in case of an inquiry?

[pjoxcee]

There is a mistake in min 11.22. You should not fill 22b with the same a mount as 23 a/b. This ammount is actually 0!

[ssvaksharkumar]

Another question to ask. Is the lohnsteuerbescheinigung necessary to file a tax return. Because I came to Germany as a student in October 2022. But I started working as a part time from August 2023 only. So is it possible to file a tax return for the year 2022 (for the two months alone)?
