It's that time again ... the annual tax return is pending. This time we opted for the company Lexware Taxman program. Once we have the last few years used the W iso-passbook, was the benchmark for the new control program already very high. First of all I can say that our expectations were met before. In the handy carton, the CD / DVD & are a 600 page book. My first impression was that this would be an Installation Guide in about 200 languages. However, the book turned out to be manual control / tax advisers. Now you can argue whether it is necessary in this day and age, to print so much paper, when the whole as a PDF would be possible. Many, however, prefer to have a book to look up in your hands as a PDF on the screen. OK, so the CD / DVD into the drive and briefly sought the license number in the box. The installation went smoothly and after a few minutes the program was installed. After installing some program updates have been charged to the tax Einzupflegen changes in the program. The input of the control data is really very easy and there is also the possibility, to get help with a "video interview" at the inputs. At any time a tax refund or tax payment is calculated and displayed. After now all data has been entered, the program checks (plausibility check) finally yet the data and displays any mistakes. In addition, also offered advice where you can also save. The result of the tax calculation is consistent with the findings of the Elster software & Was expelled on the tax bill as well. The only drawback, especially if you have even a few exceptional cases, one must as a layman only slightly muddle through, for example, when investment income is needed but already a little more time to write everything exactly zulesen & in the right line, which could explain my opinion something simpler.
I particularly found the library which can be installed with, with legal texts, policies, judgments, etc. that's here & there also helpful, especially when you stand once at war with the tax office. The spreadsheets & the document wizard are also very helpful, one keeps very well track.
Conclusion:
The change to the Taxman program ran for us with no problems. One gets along and has this enough info material. For us highly recommended.
