How to use MyTax for your tax matters

You are now on the MyTax login page. Click Sign in.

In the screenshot below, the Sign in button is highlighted with an orange frame.

Select the method of identification you wish to use. If you use your online banking codes, proceed by clicking the name of your bank.

You are now on the login page of your bank. Select your method of identification. Log in with your online banking codes in the same way as when you use your own online bank service.

In the example screenshot below, you can see the login page of the Nordea bank. The code application is selected as the default method of identification. Enter your user ID and click OK. Further information and instructions for logging in are available on your bank’s website.

You now see a page with three green boxes. When you are taking care of your own tax matters – such as checking your pre-completed tax return or requesting a new tax card – select My tax matters. 

If you request a tax card for your underage child, select Act on behalf of someone else.

MyTax home page: pre-completed tax return

If you want to view and correct your pre-completed tax return, first find the subheading Note on the home page. Under Note, select the link Your pre-completed tax return is available for checking.

Here you can see details such as the amount of your tax refund or back taxes. When you click Correct, you can file details for your pre-completed tax return.

You are now on the first page of the pre-completed tax return. The pre-completed tax return has five stages: 

1. Background
2. Pre-completed income and deductions
3. Other income
4. Other deductions
5. Preview and send

The first stage is Background. On this page, you can check your own details.

You can proceed to the other stages in two different ways:

• Select the name of the stage in the stage path, which you can find under the heading Pre-completed tax return 2019. (See the screenshot below)
• Alternatively, click Next at the bottom of the page to go to the next stage. 

If you add details on your income or deductions that are not shown at 2. Pre-completed income and deductions, do this:

• Report your income in stage 3. Other income.
• Report deductions in stage 4. Other deductions.
• First find the subject on which you have details to report.
• Click Yes at the appropriate subject. (See the screenshot below)
• Then click the link Add new and enter the details.

At Preview and send, you can view all the information you have entered. If you want to see the details, select the appropriate subheading (see the screenshot below).

If you want to make corrections, click Edit. MyTax takes you directly to the section where you can edit the details. After that, you must go again to Preview and send.

When all the details are correct, you can submit the return. Scroll down on the page to find the Submit button. Submit the return. When the Tax Administration has received your return, you will receive an acknowledgement.

Note that you do not need to file all details at one go. If you add new details several times before the due date, always remember either to save the return as unfinished or submit the return. This way, the details will be saved in MyTax.
