Steuererklärungen als steuerpflichtige Rentner:in oder Pensionär:in abgeben (EinfachELSTER)

Your domestic pension income or pensions and data on health and long-term care insurance are already available to the tax office. Therefore, you do not have to enter this information in your tax return with einfachELSTER-Portal.

You only have to answer a few questions, for example, about donations, medical bills, disability, household-related services and craftsmen's costs.

Requirements

You can use the einfachELSTER portal if you receive domestic pensions or annuities.

In addition, you may only have the following income:

• Investment income from which final withholding tax has already been paid to the tax office or for which the saver's allowance has been claimed (exemption order),
• Income from mini-jobs

If you are married or in a registered civil partnership and wish to file a joint declaration, these requirements must apply to you and the other person.
