tax return 2023: important deadlines and their importance for citizens

Berlin, August 28, 2024 - This year the deadline for submitting the tax return earlier than in the previous years ends. The cut -off date is the 2. September 2024 , which has significant consequences for many taxpayers. Especially for individuals and couples who have received certain tax classes or financial support, it is essential to take care of their tax matters on time.

The legal requirements for submitting a tax return concern not only families and singles with part -time jobs, but also everyone who received parental allowance or have received a severance payment. A tax expert from Finanztip, Jörg Leine, explains: "Many employees often do not have to submit a tax return if they are single or are both partners in tax class 4." In such cases, they even have up to four years to submit a possible voluntary explanation. This special regulation can be relieving for many and should therefore be considered.

Another critical aspect is the possibility of applying for a deadline extension. If someone needs help from a tax advisor or a income tax association, the delivery period can up to the 2. June 2025 . The tax office requires a justified application and a new proposed date. "Reasons such as illness or move are often accepted," added Leine. However, it is important to note that there can be sanctions if nobody complies with the statutory period.

Last minute tax return: tips and instructions

For citizens who want to submit their tax return at short notice, there is the possibility to cover data from the previous year. The use of tax software or apps such as "WISO Steuer 2024" or "Taxfix" can be of great advantage. Leash recommends a simple app especially for uses of taxes to facilitate the processes. The use of the free platform Elster becomes more complicated because it requires registration that can often be time -consuming.

If you miss the deadline, you have to expect a delay surcharge. This is at least 25 euros per month and is a financial incentive to submit the tax return in good time. In addition, tax officers can impose additional punishments such as forced payments or estimates of tax liability. It is therefore advisable to deal with its documents and the tax return early on.

conclusion: The importance of the timely delivery

The upcoming deadline for the tax return shows once again how important it is to be informed in time and to communicate clearly. The possibilities for extension and support are of great value for taxpayers who are in a complex financial situation. Through active examination of your own tax matters, not only fines can be avoided, but also well -founded financial decisions can be made.
