What can I do if I have not yet received the certificate from my Riester provider?

If you did not have the provider's certificate for your Riester contract when submitting your tax return, this should not prevent you from filing the return. Generally, the provider has already submitted the data electronically to the tax authorities. Nevertheless, if you submit the provider's certificate with the "Anlage AV" later, an income tax assessment notice that is already legally binding can also be changed. The tax assessment will be amended according to § 173 para. 1 no. 2 AO if the "Anlage AV" and the provider's certificate are submitted after the tax assessment notice has become legally binding. This means: Amendment due to new facts that have become known subsequently (OFD Niedersachsen dated 16.2.2010, S 0351-67-St 144).
