Today I wanted to, as usual, quickly accomplish my tax return.
In addition I have downloaded the software from Lexware shop and had to enter in the notice that this 5 is more expensive there than at Amazon!
After I started the software, I realized that the appearance has changed dramatically. The program appearance is as follows:
Up a Menu
Links Shortcuts
To the left of the actual data menu
To this end, my criticisms:
The system font is too small (at the display resolution of 1920 * 1080). To the one can notice / error indications hardly read because the contrast between the font is too small. Example: tax audit, there I received the notice that the name of the profession is too long. This can hardly be read. Reason: The background of the program window is in medium blue, the font is kept in light blue.
The shortcuts, these are colorful and often push at the entry / selection on the Data menu prior to the actual data menu.
The actual data menu: In the past you could leave open the individual points one by one. That was a good thing and we had had such a survey which points have been processed. Now can the menu items no longer open sequentially. You click on a menu item, the previously opened menu closes. I think it is thus unclear.
Data transfer from the previous year: initially I started the previous data acquisition. Lo and behold, the program does not find anything. No data available from the previous year.
After I have now spent some time in various forums and have no viable solutions found. I started QuickSteuer 2014 and wrote down the import path, for the previous year's imports. This I registered at QuickSteuer 2015 and lo and behold, the import appears to work.
Solution: data in "C: \ Program Data \ Lexware \ QuickSteuer \ 2014 \ data \" let search.
Once imported however, appear some errors, such as "The Name of the profession is too long", etc. Where there only is a merchant entered !! Apparently there have been some changes to the database in Elster. This error can be as follows fix, change profession Name terminate QuickSteuer and restart.
Conclusion: The program is convincing. The new user interface has first surprised me, first led me to some negative rating; However, I hereby revoke all. In particular, the new menus and menu navigation are used to. As soon as one has, however, become accustomed to the new interface, it is possible still to quickly create an income tax return.
The submission to the tax office managed easily. According to my taste, are still a few little things to change. What, however, the function of the program does not limit.
