When will I receive the income tax certificate?
You typically receive your income tax certificate automatically from your employer by the end of February. It includes your income data from the previous year.
If you leave your job during the year, you’ll usually get the certificate on your last working day.
💡 Important: If you worked for more than one employer during the year, you’ll receive multiple certificates – one for each job. Make sure to enter all of them in your tax return.
What if I don’t have the certificate?
You can request it directly from your employer’s HR department.
💡 Your employer also submits this data electronically to the tax office. If you don’t receive the certificate, you can request a printout from the tax office.
You can still file your tax return without the certificate – the tax office already has the data. In this case, simply enter "0" in all certificate fields in the app. Note: The preview result in the app may then differ.
How do I enter the data in the app?
First, go to the "About you" section and indicate that you were employed. Then, the "Job" category will open.
You have three options:
📸 Take a photo: Capture a clear image of your certificate.
☝️ Upload a file: Upload an image or PDF (max. 10 MB).
✍️ Enter manually: Input the values from top to bottom directly into the app.
🚨 Double-check your entries to ensure everything is correct. You can edit them at any time.
💡 Tip: You can also use the pre-filled tax return feature. With your consent, we’ll automatically retrieve the data stored by the tax office.
This includes your income tax certificate and other information submitted electronically by your employer and insurance providers.
🕒 Note: These data are typically available from January to the end of February – not always immediately at the start of the year.

What applies if I'm retired and still working?
Even if you're already retired but still employed, you’ll receive an income tax certificate – just like any other employee. Enter it in the app under the "Job" category.
