Horrendous estimate. I completed my tax return showing I would receive an estimated 80€ and received a letter from the tax office to pay back 20 times that amount. Something is wrong with this app, stay away from it! Edit: they contacted me and discovered their app made a mistake and ignored some extra income I submitted. They refunded the fee, but I wonder how often real users help them fix their critical bugs for free...

If you have entered all the data completely and correctly, the result from the tax office should usually be the same. We assure you that the Taxfix app takes into account all tax-deductible and relevant facts and all flat rates that apply to you.

I am using Taxfix for 2 years now in Germany. As an expat I find it very intuitive and helpful. It also saves hefty costs of going to a consultant but ofcourse have the option incase you need. The simplicity is top notch! The only bummer I would say that the app gets very slow incase you wish to modify any details in job or income category after filling all the details. Overall, great work Taxfix team! Keep on improving, you're doing great 👍🏻

What I lost: 70 euro, hours of my time. What I get: nothing. TaxFix reported that they send my declaration in August. Recently I asked them, how is it going, because I had no any news or money. They answered, that I have to resolve all issues with Tax Office and just took payment for their "service". So, the benefits of using Tax Fix for me is -70. The service also doesn't worth your time. The App is quite buggy. Support just copy articles from website. Bunch of functions doesn't work from PC.
