+ Management of the investments:
the individual items, such as individual vehicle costs, can (fairly easily) be collected and managed separately. Pleasant is, after all, the program at the end of a list of some extra submitted documents (proof of donations etc.) outputs.
+ Practical:
at the end of the program gives an overview of which vorwegnimmt- the expected tax bill so then can later (tax notice from the tax authorities) and target (Taxman calculation) are compared.
- User Interface:
completely overloaded.
- Guided tour of the input sequence:
confusing. This is partly also due to the overloading of the screen.
- Language within the input masks:
unintelligible Beamtendeutsch- here would do normally understand, clear explanations well. So the program is at least as frustrating as the forms and the explanations of the tax office.
- Tax-saving tools:
virtually none.
- Assistance during the input:
only very rudimentary vorhanden- ultimately must the user, etc. all using Google find out for yourself. There are no explanations what terms mean what and include what may be credited, where items to be entered (income, social security numbers, etc.) can be found, or what error messages coming so how how and where the inclined users can resolve any discrepancies.
- Printout of the completed forms:
each sheet must be individually saved as PDF and be himself named (each leaf is called "TAXMAN 2012"). Then the printer can print on paper erfolgen- back each sheet. The whole process takes so forever.
Conclusion:
Chaos program
