Deadline at a glance

1 month (correct information on remedies) — otherwise up to 1 year (§ 356 AO)

§ 355 AO

Deadline 1 month from notification. Defective information on remedies → one-year deadline.

It is an AI, not a person: nobody looks at your individual case, and we do not know who signs up or for what reason. That is why we give pointers, but no legal advice on the individual case. Guidelines and playbooks in the platform are only guardrails: the AI relies on the available sources and your information. AI can make mistakes — check important results, and if in doubt, ask a lawyer.

What you can do here in 5 minutes

The deadline for an objection (Einspruch) is 1 month from notification (§ 355 AO). If the information on legal remedies is missing or wrong, the one-year deadline under § 356 Abs. 2 AO applies.

Upload the tax assessment (Steuerbescheid) and, if available, your return — we highlight discrepancies and provide a draft objection.
