Re: German Tax software?
Any Feedback ?
Also this year I used Smartsteuer and I did not change.....due to lazyness.
There was an option for Freiberufler as Kleine Unternehmen ? I keep doing the EUR0 and declaring zero income because I am not doing any freelance job since years.

Re: Steuererklärung: Cost of supporting hosted parents with very low income.
Unfortunately I found that I can't claim back money for their support because they do not result as people in "state of need". Indeed as far as I read, the value of their assets is taken in consideration. If it is over 13.500 euro (dont remember the exact number) then they are not in state...

Steuererklärung: Cost of supporting hosted parents with very low income.

They are non-EU citizen, they got residence permit due to the EU mobility law/directive because I am italian who moved and live in another EU Country (Germany). They stay ...

Re: Steuererklarung not mandatory if you dont change employee or not special income
we are both in class IV.

Steuererklarung not mandatory if you dont change employee or not special income
Days ago I was venting a bit off with a friend about the fact that due to the new way Solidarity Tax is levied, me and my wife we always find ourselves owing a big amount of this tax in the Steuerklarung. This year for example is almost 1400 eur additional sum to be paid. At the end our steuererklar...

Hi Sorry if I may repeat myself but I want to be sure. As a "customer" is my responsibility to check just if in the invoice there's a Steuernummer but I don't have to check if it's real or if it is or not really related to the activity of cleaning service, right? Or maybe she can use the S...
