Posted 2 Oct 2022 Hello everybody! Hope you all are well. I received a lot of help from TT in the previous years. With your support, I managed to do my own Steuererklärung through these years. However since last year our lives got a little more complicated (married, kid, bought an apartment, more freelance jobs...), I have again a couple of questions regarding the Steuererklärung and hope I could get some advices here. 1. I am employed with 2 freelance Steuernummern (1 Steuernummer as translator and 1 Steuernummer as consultant). I understood that I should submit a Gewinnermittlung for each of them. Does it mean I have to fill in two Anlage EÜR, one profession each? 2. In Elster under Anlage EÜR in the page of "Allgemeine Angaben", should I fill in the Steuernummer of each of this freelance profession (the Steuernummer is only for Gewinnermittlung)? Or should I fill in the general Steuernummer (for Einkommensteuer) which is for combined tax return with my husband? I am a bit lost as to when I should use which Steuernummer. Thanks a lot for your help! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 2 Oct 2022 Re. the above, I just tried to create one more Anlage EÜR for my 2nd freelance profession of which I have a Steuernummer for Gewinnermittlung. But the Elster system says "Sie haben bereits Eingaben im Formular "Einnahmenüberschussrechnung (Anlage EÜR) 2021" gemacht. Die parallele Nutzung desselben Formulars wird nicht unterstützt." So I am not allowed to create 2 forms, but then in the same form it doesn't allow me to enter the Gewinnermittlung for more than 1 profession. What should I do? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Basically most questions raised in TT concerning tax declaration can also be addressed to Finanzamt if this is what you suggest.... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 2 Oct 2022 My suggestion to ask them directly comes from the fact that not many of us TTers are actually tax experts, so you would need to be super-lucky to find somebody who can give you a good reply to your question, whereas the people at the tax office do nothing else but fiddle around with tax forms... just trying to be helpful! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I see thank you Yes I understand many TT members are not tax experts. Just hoping by chance someone has the experience of having 2 freelance tax numbers (this shouldn't be so uncommon at least for Berlin). but yes, i'll try to contact the Finanzamt if I don't get any response here. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
