I currently live and work in Germany and I would like to apply for a tax return.
I have asked for help on a forum (in doing the paperwork) and one person wrote to me that she can help me out for a fee of 50 euros.
She asked me to send her my Lohnsteuerbescheinigung. Is it safe to send this document to a third party?
I have never met this person before, but the document does not appear to require strong security.
Lohnsteuerbescheinigung contains really many sensitive informations about you, and to share with someone you don't know in the internet, isn't a good idea, as you don't really know if this person will really help you in the end, or just needs your informations for some illegal things...
I suggest for you to search a Steuerberater, because that is his work, and then you are 100% sure. For my case I did the same and it costed around 75euro (to pay 25euro more and to be sure is better I guess).
