I'm full-time student and full time employee since 2016. I now wanted to make a tax return for the years 2016; 17 and 18 retroactively. D. H. Recruiting costs (travel expenses, laptop, etc.) incurred in the program as a second education (since I have already completed training). However, I pay income taxes and health insurance as a normal worker. How does the tax office see me, can I get back my trips to the university and is there a way to withhold the withholding tax of 3. In the tax return and get back?
What status do I have at the tax office (student or / employee or both)?
Will I get back my paid health insurance contributions?
What status do I have at the tax office (student or / employee or both)?
The income tax law knows no students, it knows only income. If you were / are employees, these would be income from employment.
Will I get back my paid health insurance contributions?
Of course not, what a question…
Your status at the tax office? Taxpayer! We do not differentiate whether someone is a student, trainee or CEO.
Dieine trips to the university you will not be refunded, not even your insurance contributions. How do you come up with such ideas?
The tax office refunds overpaid taxes. To calculate your income tax liability, your income is deducted, less income-related expenses (such as travel to university, work equipment, travel home-work) and special expenses (ie insurance premiums). From this tax debt, the advance payments - in your case, the retained income tax - deducted. If more LSt has been withheld than the actual annual income tax, the difference will be refunded. If less LSt deducted, you pay. As simple as that!
I come to it because I have heard that I get remunerated through the second educational path different taxes or income-related costs. As an example, my tuition or my purchase costs such as laptop I also fall by the commuter flat rate in the upper limit (100Km only out) each way. To my question, does the state accept that I'm training to obtain a permanent contract, does the tax office recognize me as a full-time student, or does he see me as an employee? My journey to work is much shorter than to the faculty.
No, it does not matter if it's the second educational path. According to the current legal situation, only a distinction is made as to whether it is a first degree or a second degree or whether previously another training was made. At the first degree, the costs represent special expenses; the supreme court decision is still pending.
As I said, the tax office does not care if you study or privatize, whether you are employees, retirees or whatever. And whether you make one, five or no training, we do not care! There's also no "bonus" for a second or better education: what can be claimed as a commercial emergency, is in § 9 EStG; there's no special pass for students in it.
Seems with, you have zero idea about tax law. In your place, I would not then with such things as "student tax return" or something rumdilettieren, there comes out with certainty only nonsense. Go to the Lohnsteuerhilfeverein, which demands a (not too high) membership fee, but then you can be sure that everything, which you are entitled to, is asserted!
Ok thanks
