Do I have to file a tax return as a working student?

Question

As a student employee, if I work 20 hours a week and 40 hours a week during semester breaks, would I have to file a tax return? I would most likely exceed the tax-free allowance.

And does child support from the father also count towards the tax allowance?

You don't have to make a tax return.

anttraxx · Answer

The information is slightly thin

The basic obligation to issue the tax return according to §46 EStG is as follows:

Benefits over €410 (parent money, short-time work, sick pay etc.)
Job in tax class 6
Precautionary allowance higher than actual values (Occupied people like to tap into this case
If tax class combination 3/5 and both pay received
If allowances are entered in the ElStAM
if you have applied so-called fifth rule (recovery)
When marriage ends and a new one is concluded in the same year
there is a loss report
capital income without tax deduction
There is a call from the tax office

If you mean in reverse, you should not be in an employee relationship or fulfill one of the above-mentioned points you are obliged to make a statement, otherwise not.

But now something fundamental:

A tax return on elster.de will not cost you a cent, a refund according to your information will be displayed directly to you. Therefore, you should always use this service (if you have paid LSt), you should get an afterpayment and you do not meet any of these points, you do not have to leave.

Are the interests on a German bank?

thestalker64 · Answer

No on a Norwegian, the Complete Bank ASA. But managed via the N26 Bank (German)

anttraxx · Answer

If no German capital income tax is deducted, you are theoretically obliged to do so.

I don't know whether the FA is pushing at 4€ Cape in a DBA state a wave (probably not)

But: tax is usually worth it

So I have about €16000 a year. (Rough estimate) if I then deposit 1000€ advertising costs on a flat-rate basis and again my 1200€ laptop, then I probably get back everything anyway, right?

kevin1905 · Answer

The WBK flat rate of €1,200 is already taken into account when deducting the wage tax.

So I've got a free allowance of 11,000€ directly?

anttraxx · Answer

Quite rudimentary, yes (of course not correct) And you only get the AN PB if the actual WK is not higher, the WK is higher.

thestalker64 · Answer

What is AN PB?

anttraxx · Answer

Employees lump sum, the 1000€ mentioned by you (from 2022 1,200€)

thestalker64 · Answer

Is the AN PB that where students can pay €1000? Or are there two types of sums that you could separate?

anttraxx · Answer

The employee has nothing to do with students, it is up to every tax citizen with income from non-compulsory work. No special student amount known to me

thestalker64 · Answer

Oh, okay, thanks. Then fill them out at the end of 2022 and hope to get something back :D

anttraxx · Answer

At the beginning of 2023 would be more sensitive for 2022, before you can't give it 😉

petrapetra64 · Answer

No, you don't have to do it (exceptions see Anttraxx) but since you work 20 and 40 hours each, you pay taxes and you can get something back. Would be worth it. No maintenance.
