meinElster+
The addition to the Mein ELSTER service offering.Document scan
With the MeinELSTER+ app, you can take photos of all important receipts (e.g. tradesmen's invoices, donation receipts, etc.) for your next income tax return and upload them to your Mein ELSTER user account.This means you have your receipts to hand when you need them for your income tax return and don't have to search for them.
In the app, a proposal with automatically recognized values and categories is created from your photographed receipts, which you only need to check. Thanks to this preliminary work, the values of the receipts can be easily assigned to the corresponding input fields when the tax return is prepared later. This largely eliminates the need for manual typing.
Inbox and forms
In addition to the functions for scanning and uploading documents, you also have access to the Mein ELSTER inbox. This contains various documents, such as confirmations, tax assessments, query results or notifications from other administrations.You can also submit the forms for document submission and the "Other message to the tax office" directly from the app.
