Elster form for the last time in 2020 - use the advantages of "My ELSTER"

The tax software previously offered by the tax administration "Elster Form" can be used this year for the last time to prepare the income tax return. For advance VAT returns and income tax returns, transmission via Elster form is already no longer possible.

However, citizens can easily transfer the data previously entered in "Elster Form" to "My ELSTER" or to another tax software. It is therefore not necessary to re-enter the data already entered.

Who looks for still further information to the topic, an explanatory video is available on the Internet side http://www.elster.de.

"With My ELSTER, we are providing a platform-independent, personalized and barrier-free product," says Hans-Ulrich Rau, head of the office. "Citizens can communicate conveniently and flexibly with their tax office by using the digital services of the tax administration",Rau added.

My ELSTER has numerous advantages. In addition to the possibility of transmitting various electronic applications and notifications to the tax office, this also includes the possibility of retrieving tax documents, viewing current wage tax deduction characteristics (ELStAM) and submitting applications for deadline extensions.

Registration is possible at www.elster.de. In addition citizens with questions can turn around ELSTER to the ELSTER-Ansprechpartnerinnen and ELSTER-Ansprechpartner in their tax office.
