In the past I used to do my book keeping every month, i.e. filling in a spreadsheet and saving the receipts in order of date in a folder. Then in January I just gave the whole lot to an accountant who helped me getting the maximum refund out of it.

At the moment I really don't know what to do. I don't have expenses and a very low income. I live in Spain and my husband in Germany, so we probably should add my income to his income, but that's not certain either because I earned it living in Spain. Here in Spain I'm not a legal resident and I can't apply for residency even though I live here over 10 years, because I don't have a regular income of € 400.00 minimum which is required for this residency. So legally I'm still a tourist here.

Then I asked about income from the internet and the tax office just didn't want to know. I also asked an accountant and the advice was to do nothing as the income is too low.

Well, I think I have to wait until my regular internet income is higher than the permitted minimum for the "artists", i.e. writers, poets, actors, musicians etc. It seems they are an exception to the tax law as well.

Meanwhile I just keep the few receipts I have and keep the copies of my bank account and PayPal account handy, I can do no more.
