Help with the tax declaration! Can I state all this?

I would like to make an income tax return for 2018, only then I encounter some problems. 2017 I have from 01.01. Until 31.12. Worked. Quite normal, but in 2018 it was something else.

Worked: 01.01. - 31.08.

From 01.09. I do a further education in my profession in another city, where I'm from the 01.12. Live. For 3 months I've been shuttled from the old place of residence to the school.

For the school or further training, I have to buy tools such as a laptop, calculator and a lot of folders, etc. New.

My questions now:

Can I specify all the work equipment in the tax return? (I have kept all the documents that have to do with the school)

Can I specify the 3 months commuting regarding travel costs? (But I have not kept a receipt)

As far as I know I do not have to specify a mini job and BAföG?

Can I specify all the work equipment in the tax return? (I have kept all the documents that have to do with the school)

Yuh. Depending on how expensive the laptop was, it can't be written off immediately but over its useful life (3 years).

Can I specify the 3 months commuting regarding travel costs? (But I have not kept a receipt)

You do not have to because if you are the route by car, walk. Parking or public transport is irrelevant with regard to the distance charge.

Where I'm not sure here is whether distance flat rate or kilometer driven. Do not think that this counts as a first workplace.

As far as I know I do not have to specify a mini job and BAföG?

BAföG is no income i.S.d. Income Tax Act. A mini-job is a "depends on" topic.

If the mini job was taxed by the employer in a flat rate then it would be out of the question, but also means that you are not allowed to pay any travel costs for this mini job.

If he delivered tax code, so he has in the tax return and you could also set here advertising costs.

Gu

Thank you. Yes from 01.09. Do I do a mini job with the same old employer. He is taxed flat rate by the employer.

Do I have to divide the price of the laptop by 3?

In the time where I'm commuting I already had the mini-job. So I can't specify the travel costs?

Ka

Do I have to divide the price of the laptop by 3?

You should first see if an immediate write-off is possible, whether said laptop is a GWG or not. And if not and not on collective items then just over time and here is monthly billed.

Purchased in September 2018 = purchase price / 36 months x 4 months (Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec) = depreciation 2018.

So I can't specify the travel costs?

The mini-job ran flat rate so you do not incur any tax-relevant travel costs on the way there, this is something else to the training center.

Gu

Thank you. The laptop cost 899 euro. Gross. So it's 2018 a GWG.

To the training center do you mean now the further education? So the 3 months I'm commuting?

Ka

Yes. Because the mini-job does not produce any travel costs, at least not tax-relevant.

Gu

And what about the purchased laptop and the school stuff, which I from the 01.09. Until 31.12. Bought?

Ka

Do not understand the question.

One year always goes from 01.01. Until 31.12.

Gu

But in the meantime I already had my mini job. Because I can no longer state my commuting costs.

Gu

The school supplies and the laptop I bought in the time where I have the mini-job, so from 01.09.

I can't specify the shuttle costs. The laptop and school stuff already? When I mention this at Elster, they do not know when I bought it. But if I have to prove it, they will see it or not?

Ka

I repeat:

One year always goes from 01.01. Until 31.12.

Gu

I'm not going through it that way.

So I can specify my laptop, the school supplies and the 2 months travel expenses to the further education center? But the travel costs to Minijob not?

I understood that I can't state the travel costs, because in the time I already have the mini-job and pay no taxes, but only my employer.

01.01.2018 - 31.08.2018 Full time

01.09.2019 - 31.12.2018 Mini Job

01.09.2019 - 30.11.2018 125km commuted to further education

From the 01.12.2018 I live in the city of further education.

Please give a little explanation.

Ka

Gu

Thank you!

Even if I have no tank receipts in retrospect?

Ka

Up to 4.500, - € no problem.

Gu

Thank you!

Gu

Can I still specify the rent for the WG room for November and December after my move to the new city?

If so, where, under which point?

Ka

Wg-rooms of students are not tax-deductible, unless

there's another main residence
this will contribute to the cost of doing so
