But now it seems to have come Lexware on the funnel in the house, it's time to screw on the proven and to reinvent the wheel. For new users, this may not be an issue or problem. For me as an experienced user, however, already! At the very least, the term "frustration free" not to associate in connection with this software for me. On the contrary, because of the frustration has set after a very short time and drove me to the brink of insanity.
My tax return was formerly within two to three hours in sackcloth and bags. Well, I spent a whole day, which is ultimately owed a continual search in Wust of the new design. Useful and familiar features like spreadsheet etc. are no longer available or have I simply no longer found. I used to just by clicking my way through the tax return from start to finish and this time I jumped back countless times of the forms to the input, because the values have not been entered correctly, especially in the VAT return. I was even on the verge of using the ElsterFormular freely available instead of Taxman.
Conclusion:
Undoubtedly Lexware Taxman 2015 succeeded with a great success. Too bad that this has gone in the wrong direction. What has proven itself, need not be necessarily improved, but this is subject to rather aufzuhübschen an efficient software and the urge to make it look modern. Unfortunately, the strong went into this case at the expense of (experienced) users. There also is a more "seasonal" software that not every day finds its application in the normal case, the recent changes were unnecessary and absolutely unnecessary.
For me personally, the current version is a step backwards and I fear that we will build on it for future versions. Therefore, I see no real improvement for followers and fear rather further deterioration. In the case Taxman is not a real option for me more and it is to keep an eye out time for a "frustration free" replacement.
