Detailed description
You must complete your tax returns independently and completely.
The tax office is not permitted to assist you with completing your tax return or with applications. The responsible office may only assist you with general questions. You can contact the information and reception desks at the tax offices in person.
General questions, such as basic technical information, should primarily be directed by phone to the Hamburg Telephone Service. You can reach the Hamburg Telephone Service by calling 115.
For more detailed assistance, such as completing forms, you can contact tax advisors or tax assistance organizations. These are specially trained to assist you with your tax return.
If you use the online portal "My ELSTER", you can prepare and submit your tax return electronically.
With "My ELSTER" you have a modern and reliable tool at your disposal with which you can complete your tax return securely and easily.
Use the instructions and help texts available in the portal or on the forms.
