How do you choose the assessment type?
Married couples can decide each year whether to be individually or jointly assessed. You can enter your choice on the tax return or make a simple declaration. When using SteuerGo, the programme will recommend the most beneficial option for you.
SteuerGo assumes that joint assessment is usually the better choice for married taxpayers and also yields a higher tax refund. Therefore, all information for submitting the tax return for a jointly assessed couple will be requested on the following pages.
Once you have entered all the necessary data, access the "Calculation of your expected tax liability" page by clicking on "Tax refund" or "Additional payment" at the top. If you are married, you can then access the "Assessment check" on the calculation page.
When the result of the assessment check is displayed, you have the option to split the joint tax case of joint assessment into two separate tax cases for the husband/partner A and the wife/partner B and submit these two tax cases as part of the individual assessment for spouses/partners via ELSTER to your tax office.
The tax calculation overview shows the results of both separate and joint assessments. You can then choose how to submit your tax return. Select either "Continue to submit joint assessment" or "Continue to submit separate assessment".
Please note that with the individual assessment for spouses, technically two tax returns are submitted. In the first step, you submit the tax return for the husband. Once this has been transferred, you can submit the tax return for the wife.
