Total
In your summary you will see:
- General extraordinary expenses
- Disability-related travel allowance (if applicable)
- Total amount of expenses claimed
However: Not everything has an immediate tax-reducing effect.
The tax office only considers the part of your expenses that exceeds your "reasonable burden". This threshold depends on your income, marital status, and the number of children you have.
The reasonable burden is automatically calculated and deducted from your total expenses. Only the remaining amount reduces your tax.
The calculation is based on the graduated procedure valid since 2018, as prescribed by the Federal Fiscal Court in the ruling (VI R 75/14) of 19.01.2017. SteuerGo automatically applies this procedure.
