Your deadlines for tax year 2029

You are not required to file — voluntarily you have four years, and it usually means money back.

Due on	Filing	Period	Filed by	Deadline
January 02, 2034	Einkommensteuererklärung (freiwillig)	2029	filed yourself	in 2637 days

For these returns the deadline depends on who files. File it yourself and § 149 Abs. 2 AO applies; where a Steuerberater prepares it, § 149 Abs. 3 AO gives longer. Every other date in the table is the same either way.
A date falling on a weekend or a nationwide public holiday moves to the next working day (§ 108 Abs. 3 AO).
Where a deadline was extended by statute — such as the COVID-19 extensions in Art. 97 § 36 EGAO — the original date stands beside it, struck through. The info marker names the authority.
Only nationwide holidays are taken into account. Where the day is a public holiday in the Land your Finanzamt belongs to, the deadline ends correspondingly later.

This overview is not tax advice. For your own case, please confirm the dates with your Steuerberater or with the Finanzamt responsible for you.

This is not advice. Whether a threshold is crossed depends on your numbers.
