I have a company as a side thing, so for me the process is more involved, but for most Swedes the following is what you do:
- receive a tax summary of what the Swedish tax agency believes about your earnings.
- check that tax summary if it is OK (you receive a summary from all your employers in the beginning of the year. Just check if it adds up)
- go online and change any numbers you believe are wrong (in my experience they are usually usually they are correct down to a granularity of a couple of hundred SEK). At that level calculating it precisely gets very hard, due to how your employer reported sick leave and such. I have always ignored anything below 1000sek (~$100)
- do any deductions. Many are already pre-filled (like deductions on interest, household services and such).
- sign it with your online ID
Done. Last year this process took my wife about 35 minutes. Most people are a lot less diligent.
