You could call the Finanzamt and ask.

Thanks for the reply, I work on bit later time zone, any time I called them, they were not available

so I was thinking if there is any other possibility ?

I applied for elster activattion letter per post, which never arrived, so I think they have my non German address recorded in system.

sure that is an option, but somehow employers are able to retrieve it online by giving Tax ID and person name/DOB
I thought I could log in to some accounting system and view my data

I lived for few years, then abroad for couple of years, and then back in Germany

I move so much, even my GPS is tired of me :D
