- Open tax return
Notice: It is only possible to approve the tax return once it has been opened and checked. The declaration is deemed to be correct once it has been authorised. Changes are then only possible to a limited extent.
- Check and approve
Once the declaration has been opened, the documents can be checked. If all the information is correct, digital approval can be given with just a click (Bestätigen/approve).
Important: After your approval, we will send the tax return to the tax office within a few working days. Approval should therefore only be given if immediate submission to the tax office is desired.
- Done!
The approval is sent to us immediately and we take care of the rest.
