Deduct tax for study costs in spite of the student loan?

Is that possible? And what's the best way to do that? I'm in Bafög and I'm self-employed to earn a little extra. Can I somehow recover my laptop costs? Use my laptop only for study and work.

You can only save taxes if you really pay taxes.

As a single, 9408 euro are tax-free per year, do not guess that you are over it.

That means I shouldn't have any hopes of getting my laptop money refunded?

Since the tax office does not reimburse costs: yup

Are they stupid? Treat yourself to nothing! Even with Bafög you are in the credit trap.

Sure, the tax office is stupid because it doesn't pay you a laptop. (small tip: I've been working for 35 years, and I've never been paid for a computer or even a car!)

keep crying and leave the community alone if you have no idea how the control system works!

The overall cost is not anyway

that would be advertising costs or special expenses. That would be deducted from the total income you have. What is left must be taxed. But only if the taxable income is over 9408 euro

Thanks, I'll keep crying. There's one I like xD achhh but some people don't understand irony either

Exactly the answer I was looking for!
