Tax assessment not ready yet?
Hello everyone,
My 2021 income tax return arrived by mail at the responsible tax office on April 20, 2022. I called two weeks ago to inquire about the current status. They said it wasn't ready yet and that processing tax returns generally takes up to two months.
Now it's been more than 2 months and I'm wondering if there might be problems.
If you were me, would you ask again or wait a bit longer to avoid bothering the tax office? I don't want them to get annoyed by my repeated inquiries.
It's almost July and I'll most likely get a tax refund, which would help my current financial situation.
Thanks!
This can depend on so many factors.
The wish that every explanation after 3 weeks has been spelling a decision has been ubiquitous for years, but is so utopian.
For the first time, you have to be restarted and this is not fully automatic. That's the same as a move. Because special features such as a declared work room or a double budget management can also lead to a situation that lasts longer.
The same is true if the treatment by the sick person is currently hardly possible, because you have to wait and do not have a handle against it, that is just the case. It should also be remembered that due to short-time work 2022 and 2021 a lot of people have slipped into the duty obligation, this leads to much more labor costs with almost every tax office.
So it doesn't matter if you use Elster.de TaxFix or your program. Only paper imprints make a difference, these must first be digitized (scanned).
Of course, you can call and go to the sack to the employee, but this will certainly not make a decision faster.
If you haven't heard anything after 6 months, you can file an objection for inactivity.
PS:
Money from a refund should never be planned anyway, because you never know how long the claim was
Over the past 3 years, this has always been the case that I got the call within 3-4 weeks.
In my case, there is neither short-time work, moving, double budget management, domestic work room or other.
That. As in recent years, there have been only the removal package or, in general, advertising costs to be reported and the sheet precautionary expenses with an entry in insurance. It's not new either. And that's it.
Because of the advertising costs, I expect a refund.
My mother had given a much more complex and more comprehensive tax return and has the decision in her hands even after 4 weeks. Sure, it was probably another worker.
Wait. The processing time for authorities is often unpredictable. Demands do not accelerate the matter. If they want something, they'll report.
The actual processing time varies depending on the utilization of the specialist, the number of EStE received, the number of medical reports in the FA, the complexity of the tax case and other uncertainties. You may ask kindly once more if you have gone to the country for several weeks, at the best in the morning at 8 am You always get a friendly and competent information – if you ask yourself kindly. Finally, there are only people who do their job.
We submitted the statement on 27.4.22, on 5.5. I answered the questions of the FA, including the requested documents/cases, and on 31.5. I had been informed and refunded. That's all right.
You can't wait and do more. If something is missing or a problem appears, they'll report. Experience shows that electronic data transmission is the fastest and there are no typing errors.
In case of refunds, this obviously takes longer! If you were expecting a repayment, the call would be in the house long ago…
