Hey everyone,
sadly no good news and I can feel it affecting my health immediately. I
got these messages from Thomas - he's okay with me sharing:
Message one at 20:17 CEST:
"sorry, busy so far.... can only briefly...
Yes, the transfer worked. I then asked myself whether it made
sense, because Armin said that he had done everything digitally and had
given it to you.
The real surprise was when we looked into Lexware. He said he
hadn't changed anything since he showed it to you in a video
conference. But: there were no more bookings in Lexware. I didn't
understand that! So I couldn't save anything either.
In addition to 2 boxes of folders with the bookkeeping and so on, I
also got a stick. You already have all that, says Armin. There's a
backup on it, I'll try to import it at my place. Hopefully the
receipts will be back in the system. Armin tries to find the hard drive
where
he saved the backup copies.
He must have sent the tax returns via Elster. Were you able to log
in there?
And what I also didn't know is that Schomerus und Partner no longer
provides tax advice. He was probably there with Gerhard
(Heilhaus) and they said they could no longer do it. Since then
it's been without tax advice. What a bummer, hopefully the declarations
have been made and submitted correctly.
Phew, personal impression: Armin is not doing well at the moment.
He seemed restless and forgetful. First he brought the boxes to my
car, then we were at his computer, then he didn't even remember that
we'd brought the boxes...
Ok, in the next few days I'll try to read the data into my
computer... I'll let you know then..."
Message two at 21:41 CEST:
"Unfortunately, the one backup that was on the stick, I can't
import anything into my accounting. man oh man, what a mess!"
So this means that I'll need to reconstruct the Lexware bookkeeping
since 2020. I actually found data on 2019 from the software. In addition
I need to prepare documents about the activities that GEN Europe did in
regards to the aims and goals as a charity. Honestly I'm not sure if I'm
capable and got the time for this. I can try but I feel a lot of anxiety
about it. And I have no idea how the German tax office will react as the
bookkeeping isn't in good shape even if I manage to submit the reports
rather soonish.
Definitely feeling overwhelmed and unclear how to tackle this.
Sorry for no good news...
Annika
