The control software itself is solid, intuitive and comprehensive. In order to make the private tax returns, everything is on board. Even for retirees is the whole system suitable R and pension expenses can be recorded. Similarly, the system can be created for freelancers EÜR or (small) retailers.
Procedure:
The software guides the user successively through the tax returns and asks for entering the relevant data, not self-employed income on things like Board Package Deals up to spending on household-related services. These are then entered automatically in the right places of the (somewhat confusing and complex) forms of the tax return. I think it's always much easier than with Elster or even on paper to look only at what needs to go where. It is faster anyway.
During the input the program continually updated the tax refund, which you are always aware of how much you get back. Also you can see the same, where the standard amounts are not reached and a heading, for example, do not affect.
At the end you can either print the tax return or electronically transferred. In the electronic transfer via ELSTER module can be both signed as select the unsigned transmission. For the signed transfer but you have to be registered with the tax office and have a certificate or a dongle. When a compressed transfer unsigned tax return is printed, you need to send to the tax office then signed. The collection of data communication by the tax authorities and a comparison with the information in the program is possible.
Updates / Registration:
Updates are included in the program and can be automatically installed by optional registration. Upgrading is possible manually but also without registration.
Conclusion:
Extensive control software, suitable for all private people and easy to use. The WISO Steuer-savings account is one of the good channels in a control area and there is nothing against a purchase.
Special Edition:
The Amazon of the Special Edition contrast to Standard Edition: while the control software is the same, there is still a voucher code to online order for a trial subscription on 3 issues for W iso-MonatsCD at. This trial version is free so that instead of the otherwise incurred 10 euros for it. Who wants to try the MonatsCD times, so they get a little cheaper. Why only a little cheaper? Because the Special Edition (at least currently) is more expensive than the standard version; the price difference of course you have to deduct from the 10 to calculate the actual savings. Who wants to make only the taxes now, so accesses prefer to Standard Edition.
