How do you activate data retrieval if you are already registered with ELSTER?
If you are registered with ELSTER, you will not receive an activation code by post. In this case, you must activate the data retrieval directly in your ELSTER user account. You will need a so-called retrieval code.
If you do not yet have a retrieval code for ELSTER, first log in to the Mein Elster portal:

Go to the "Forms & Services" section and then select "Manage certificates". Then select "Consent and retrieval code".
You will receive your retrieval code by post from the tax office in the next few days.
Activating data retrieval with retrieval code
If you already have the retrieval code for ELSTER, you can immediately continue with the activation for data retrieval by SteuerGo.
