I need the tax ID for my twitch affiliate. I'm 15 and I asked my parents - they have no idea where it is or whether they'll ever get one from the tax office. My question now is could I call them and request one or if I already have one, just ask for it? What do I need if I apply for one by phone or what do I bring if I want to know the number by phone? And how long does it take approximately
This is given at birth.
You can get yours at the tax office if you can identify yourself
You get the tax ID shortly after your birth, so your parents will have got one, but if they can't find it you have to look here: https://www.bzst.de/SiteGlobals/Kontaktformulare/DE/Steuerliche_IDNr/Mitteilung_IdNr/mitteilung_IdNr_node.html;jsessionid=F94492F67FA3AC784A84BBBD10C8AB62.live832

Otherwise, you have the option to have this number printed out in person at the citizens 'office / residents' registration office.
Or you can write to the tax office and ask for the tax ID to be sent again.

… In this context, it will be of little use to you that as a minor you are not allowed to be active there in this regard.
Okay and if. I have that then do I have to do something else do I have to do a trade or something?
You need them if you want to make any legal money.
If you are not yet 18 you can't register a business.
