I’ve received a Mahnung for Einkommensteuer + Kirchensteuer in 2021.
I called the Finanzamt, couldn’t understand everything, but from what I gathered, I haven’t “steuerlich abemeldet” my Gewerbe and the Finanzamt estimated my income & charged me the income tax.

How can I do the “steuerliche Abmeldung”? On [https://service.berlin.de/](https://service.berlin.de/) I found this form “Vorläufige/Endgültige steuerliche Abmeldung/Ummeldung”. Is that the right form?
Do I just fill it out and send to the responsible Finanzamt?

  1. So did you have a business which you aren’t running any longer? If you close the business you have to go to your local Gewerbeamt and officially tell them it is closed and to get it deregister. You don’t do that at the Finanzamt.
    From the point of view of the tax authority you are still running a business and didn’t file your taxes which you’d be legally required to do.

  2. The URL only redirects to a home page, but you will have already found the right form.

    But that’s not all – you will still have to do the tax returns for 2021 and 2022 and probably also for 2023.
