Taxfix simplifies tax filing for German taxpayers through an intuitive mobile and web application. The platform transforms the traditionally complex process of preparing a Steuererklärung into a streamlined question-and-answer format that requires no prior tax knowledge or understanding of technical tax terminology. Users answer approximately 70 tailored questions and receive an immediate estimate of their potential tax refund before deciding whether to file.
The service offers two distinct pathways for completing tax returns. Users can either prepare their declaration independently using the guided self-service option, or utilize the Expert Service where independent certified tax advisors handle the entire preparation process. The Expert Service minimizes user effort by providing a personalized checklist of required documents, enabling direct communication with assigned tax professionals, and delivering optimized returns with clear explanations.
Taxfix automatically retrieves income tax certificates directly from the tax office, eliminating manual data entry. The platform includes a document management system that allows users to photograph, categorize, and store receipts throughout the year, simplifying future tax preparations. All data transmission occurs through secure encryption and the official ELSTER interface, ensuring compliance with German tax authority requirements.
The platform has demonstrated significant results, with users receiving an average refund of 1,172 euros. Over 255,000 customer reviews average 4.7 stars across app stores. Taxfix has been recommended by Finanztip, a leading German consumer finance publication, specifically for straightforward tax situations.
