Useful and usable - if you circumnavigated the known cliffs

For the first time I can control the WISO savings book of Buhl concede three star. I use the software for several years and had to complain about substantial interventions of Buhl software in the integrity of the user computer at this point in previous years. For example, the software Buhl wrote previously in objectively absolutely unnecessarily unasked in the startup routine of the operating system. Immediately after every time the computer that started to communicate with Buhl servers even if the user has not accessed the Buhl-tax savings account software.

This meant so far: If the Buhl-tax Bankbook software was installed to do on a day in the tax return, she ran unnoticed at all other 364 days a year, at which it was not used at all, because the installation Nevertheless, with each time the computer is started in the background and was communicating with the Buhl servers.
The WISO Steuer bankbook 2015 Buhl Data Service GmbH is apparently followed the sharp criticism and has waived this unnecessary and undesirable interference with the computer integrity. At least I have not found more activation after installing the WISO tax-savings account in 2015 in the startup routine.

Who control the startup routines themselves and want to prevent unwanted startup entries, this may in the following ways:
1. Click the Windows Start button, click Run, type msconfig.exe. Click OK.
2. Click the Startup tab and scroll down to the option "WISO My Tax savings account today".
3. Remove the check mark next to the option "WISO My Tax savings account today". Then click OK.
4. Restart the computer.

If the WISO tax saving software would have been entered for any reason in the Startup file, it should no longer automatically run in the background and communicate with Buhl servers after rebooting. However, I check on every update that the tax-saving software does not write again in the startup routines of the computer. After the first two updates this is not yet the case.

Why do not I give you two points deduction?

Firstly, the Buhl Data Service GmbH tries the user of this software still to entice with many unsightly tricks to register the software in order to then be covered with advertising. The software provides the ability to manually query the existence of an update. This is the perception that the default setting; you can also set the update check on automatically. If one then in the presence of an update would this install, the Buhl Data Service GmbH forces the registration reluctant customers but at an extra detour through their website with a manual installation. This can be justified neither technically nor objectively. That's just gross kundenunfreundlich motivated force of the more than clearly visible effort the user of the software for registration. There are penalized.

Furthermore, the tax WISO savings account in 2015 is not as accurate as I expect it or suggest some award. It is not disputed, it is one of the better tools in the preparation of tax returns. Some details, however, I must continue to manually compensate for the failure of the software. For example, a particular part of the plant sheets will not be printed, even though I have set the check mark at the vorgesehehen place for expression. This is repeated every year. Or as in my case when collecting the tax period in less than one year stay in Germany. While the program captured beautifully even more than a period in Germany and recorded just stay period abroad. Only I do not perceive that the software considers this captured data in the calculation. The proportionate consideration of income according to the tax to be considered residence period I have to then use the calculator even calculate and submit or correct in the appropriate places. Are particularly unpleasant such software defects, if you only realize after checking by the tax office, as I experienced it. Again, there are points deduction.

Nevertheless, it can be stated: Anyone who uses the program for a few years, learn the know with time in relation to the concrete own tax situation or tax return for a self-relevant vulnerabilities of WISO Steuer Bankbook software. As a rule, you will then be able to deal with them. Are the cliffs once known, is the bottom line their own tax returns without tax consultants actually go easily and quickly by hand. In this respect, worth buying this software.

If the Buhl Data Service GmbH omits the update criticized chicane for registered users unwilling, I would increase to four stars.
