Tax class 6 instead of 1? Twitch?

Re
- in Twitch

Have had a full-time job since May where I stated that I was tax class 1. However, I streamed briefly on Twitch in April, where I also had to provide my tax number. With my salary (full-time job) I was now classified in tax class 6, although as a streamer I had no income. Can I do something about that?

However, I streamed briefly on Twitch in April, where I also had to provide my tax number.

The tax number or the tax identification number?

The tax ID no. Require employers in order to be able to query the information required for the wage tax calculation.

Twitch is not your employer and does not withhold income tax for you.

In my opinion, your classification in tax class 6 can't be due to your Twitch registration. Contact your new employer, apparently something went wrong.

Thanks for your answer. I would also have been very surprised if Twitch reports to the tax office as an employer. Then I'll get in touch with my current employer.
