  1. Look on your tax return. But probably just one year. They usually don’t do multiple tax returns in one go.

  2. Wait for the letter with the tax return statement. It should come any day now. In case you submitted via Elster, it may already be there electronically. Usually it’s for one year, but offsets are also possible. In case they’ve offset one year against another, they are going to state that in the tax returns of the years in question.

  3. Hey, I’m sorry I cannot answer your question but I have one of my own. I submitted my return for 2023 two months ago and haven’t heard anything from them yet. Did yours take more than 2 months too?

  4. It even says it on the reference line:

    erstatt = Erstattung = reimbursement, restitution

    0xxxx = your tax ID

    EST = Einkommenssteuer = income tax

    .20 = 2020

    You’ll be receiving a letter within the next few days.
