  "account": "Many people write off money because they are unsure which expenses they can claim in their tax return. Others, on the other hand, try to claim almost everything, hoping that the tax office will go along with it. In this episode, we clarify what workers and freelancers can actually write off against their taxes. We talk about technology like Airpods and laptops, about further education, rail passes, health costs, and the famous tax deduction. We also explain why \"offsetting against the tax\" does not mean the state pays for the purchase, which rules apply to private use, and when the tax office takes a particularly close look. By the end, you'll know which expenses are worth entering in your tax return, where the biggest misunderstandings lurk, and why a little courage when filing taxes can sometimes be worth the money. In \"Money Enough,\" Jan Guldner (DIE ZEIT) and Laura de la Motte (»Handelsblatt«) discuss a financial life question every two weeks. We welcome questions, feedback, and criticism at geldgenug@zeit.de.",
