Enter the benefits from a pension fund in accordance with no. 2 of the benefit statement (Leistungsmitteilung).

Number 2 of the benefit statement covers pension payments from a pension fund that are based on a pension obligation or entitlement. These pensions are considered to be pension benefits and benefit from a pension allowance and a supplement when calculating the tax. The reported benefits are fully taxable after deduction of the pension allowance and the supplement.
