Attention freelancers / independent

I think it's bad for one that accountants are no interface to Lexware to save at least the inputs to yours. That should the same manufacturer but not be so difficult?

The explanation for the last year was an ordeal because there were some inconsistencies that I only with the help of the support (I have something actually still used in any software!) Had to be solved, and also the kind supporter the problem only with trial could circle -and-error.

I then transferred the data for the declaration in 2011 and thought it would make it easier. Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that! The Taxman tax inspector says "all the best", although appearing in the EÜR cost of a study, which was not given this year. But the amount can not delete (which the supporter after half an hour also notes).
Ok, then I have to stop to explain the FA that the costs are out attribute manually (which will be pleased).

Now I wanted to submit the declaration at Elster, but is not, because allegedly do not comply with the sums of revenue to the individual values. Unfortunately, one can thus begin little, because the sums are indeed generated automatically by Taxman. Again half an hour pay support, even after the Supporter helpless attempts by trial-and-error before an unsolvable riddle.

The whole statement must now be printed filed.

Another highlight is the VAT return. The module is in all seriousness not able to take the data from yours. Not even the master data (address, tax identification number). That must be all over again entered manually. At least here, the transmission works with the Elster.

That can not happen at the 18th (!) Version of the program. In the years but just about all situations should be surfaced.

Conclusion: Who is liable for VAT own, in my opinion, with Taxman doing yourself any favors. The additional problems raised by this program, cause so much trouble, (working) time and money loss, the tax consultants can be paid them loose. For workers with simple tax situations who simply want to settle only their travel costs, special charges and office, the software may be great. But I might as well take up a free program.

I'm going to give it back as a tax advisor and use the time saved to earn money.
