Printing your tax return - what it takes

You can now use an electronic facility when preparing your tax return. This is not only convenient, but preferred by most tax offices. Of course, you can also print out the tax return for your private records or send the letter to the tax office by mail.

Printing out your tax return: Here's what matters

When printing, however, it is important that the document must necessarily be printed in A4 format.

1. Also note that you must make a tax return available for up to 15 years. For this reason, you should refrain from using too thin paper or anything other than printing paper.
2. Printing double-sided is not only disliked, but also inadmissible.
3. All pages must be identical to the electronic data and may not differ in either page number or format.
4. Also, you must not glue or staple the pages together. File them chronologically in a glass envelope.

Print out tax return in advance: How to avoid errors

1. It is easiest for you to use pre-printed tax returns.
2. You can then fill them out by hand and scan them again afterwards. So vermeiden Sie Fehler beim Druck und haben mit Sicherheit eine gültige Version vorliegen.
3. Natürlich können Sie die Steuererklärung auch von einem Steuerberater oder einem Onlinedienst durchführen lassen. Dieser Service kostet zwar ein wenig, garantiert aber absolute Sicherheit.
