Hi everybody,
I wonder if you have the experience of paying advanced tax for a period of time while having no income.
My case is that in 2020, I was employed from Jan to Sep, and income taxes were deducted at the source. For the last quarter of the year, Finanzamt asked me to prepay an amount of tax, which I did even though I was not working and had no income.
For the filing of 2020 tax return:
1) for Jan to Sep 2020, I can refer to the LStB (income tax certificate) which I have just received from my previous employer.
2) for Oct to Dec 2020, where / how should I indicate that I had prepaid a certain amount of tax but received no income? Shall I simply sum up all taxes I paid for the whole year and input as 1 single entry? If not, how can I declare the period Jan to Sep separately?
Thanks.
