I searched the forum and read through the following posts but still couldn’t find a clear answer:

Tax declaration

Hey guys, I still have to send my tax declaration for 2017. I have never done it. The manual is there, but the size of it has effectively kept me away from it. I thought that at least the first time I will just let a professional handle it, but with a rate of 200 CHF/hour and maybe 3-4 hours of work, I would be looking at a hefty bill. So, is there anyone here who has done the tax declaration for canton Zurich? Should I do everything on paper, or is there some software you definitely recommend?…

This is how the mask looks like in the EasyTax Software for BL:

I figured out the “Valoren-Nr.” part but really don’t know how to fill in the other fields.

I would really appreciate your help!

Sucks for you that the software does not prefill the dividends. I’d suggest you look them up here: ICTax - Income & Capital Taxes

Note the “Basel-Country: reduced tax value”-flag that I guess you should check? I honestly have never seen that before but it reduces the taxable value.
I suggest you click “Show details” and enter the number of shares you had at 31.12.2020 in the “Nominal quantity”-field. If you need to know how many shares you had when I would generate the “Activity Report” for 2020 (might take a while, you can download it asynchronously).

There you see when you traded VT, your year opening and year closing balance (I think). Otherwise reverse-engineer it via your trades and the year-end position.

Then use those numbers on ICTax in “Details of the calculation” to enter at what dividend-distribution date you had what amount of shares. This will determine the taxable income.

Then enter those four dividend-distributions (if you held for the whole year) in your software (tick “mehrere Coupontermine”.

I interpret your input-fields like this:
“Anzahl per Termin” = number of shares at that dividend-distribution date
“Fälligkeitstermin” = date of the distribution
“steuerbar /Stk. in CHF” = dividend per share in CHF (row “Value per share CHF” on ICTax)
“stb. Gesamtertrag in CHF” = “anzahl per termin” * “steuerbar /Stk in CHF”

Thank you so much for your reply. This really helps a lot. I’m gonna give it another go today and report back as soon as I have any insights or questions!

When you click on the binocular on the upper right don’t you have the option to calculate the values automathically ?
Otherwise that “kursliste” doesn’t do much…

[goodfornothing]

Hahaha yes! You are right! I’ve been able to just open up “Kursliste”, fill in the new amount per 31.12.2020 and how much yield it was per date of dividend distribution. In addition to that I had to fill in (with the exact date/amount) whenever I made a purchase throughout the year. That’s it!

Thank you!
