Frequently asked questions
Is filing worth it for me?
On average, our employee members get back more than €1,000. We tell you upfront whether your case is worth filing.
I have RSUs from a US employer – is that a problem?
No. We treat them as wage income (sonstige Bezüge) at vesting and handle the German tax correctly.
