| Exactly. Talk to them. It's only provisional, and if you know you're going to earn less, you won't have any interest to pay. | |

We always get a paper with the provisional tax-bill, where they ask whether they got it about right. You can state on it if it's totally out and send the paper back.
Provisional bills can always be paid in parts. Pay the June part, talk to them and by the next due date they may have already sorted it out, by having replaced the provisional bill.
Most tax-declarations are handed in by end of March. It is absolutely not possible to have them all checked in time for provisional bills so those are based on the previous ones.
One thing about Thurgau: When living there I had to take half a day off every year, go explain our tax-declaration in person - and walk out being agreed to on every single point. I was warned I would have to do exactly that before I moved there and that's how it was.
When salary rises, it's no problem being taxed on last year's level, when it drops it is always a bit difficult until it's levelled out. In the end it will all be sorted.
