Reminder run for submitting a tax return 
Request to submit a tax return
-
Basic information
Reason for the reminder letter:
The tax return has not yet been submitted - despite the obligation to submit a return by 31.07.2020. Taxpayers were therefore reminded by letter of tax returns still to be submitted following automated computer center runs.
In individual cases, the time lag between identifying the persons to be reminded and sending the letters may result in a reminder being sent even though the return has already been submitted. In this case, no reply to the reminder letter is required. In all other cases, please send the completed form by post or fax.
-
Procedure
The tax return must be submitted electronically or - if permitted (only in so-called hardship cases) - in paper form within the specified deadline. An application for the so-called hardship regulation must be sent to the tax office in writing.
More information
Telephone queries to the office responsible for processing the reminder will lead to a longer processing time. You are therefore requested to refrain from making further enquiries.
