great. for the few cents that will be enough then! less hassle.   Thank you for clarification! (and remember a 2year old post !)

@PandaMunich I am sorry for the spam. I had forgotten about this.   Gains were less than 50€ but as I haven't filles for the " Freistellungsauftrag" I understand that a complete tax return is mandatory.   Question, what is the difference ? Is it because I would receive the few cents in taxes back (the bank too automatically) by doing a return? can I assume the loss, or this will have to be declared (mandatory?)   sorry, but I can't see why with Freistellungsauftrag  is not mandatory to do tax return, and without it it is.     Thank you

Hello,   I have opened a "depot" for my son (minor) last year and there was a few € (less than 100) gains in dividends, directly paid into his account.  I haven't filled the document to let the bank know the "free tax allowance" therefore the bank has already taken the tax comissions on these.   While filling the Tax return, I can add a Anlage KAP for me or my wife but not for our son. Do I need to fill a complete tax return for him, including the Anlage KAP just to declare the dividend gains? Can this be done under my Elster login the same?   Thank you
