About this app

Whether you're an employee, trainee, student, pensioner, or expat, you can now take taxes into your own hands.


With Taxfix (Köpenicker Str. 122, 10179 Berlin), you can fill out your tax return in the simple question-answer mode, or hand things over to an independent tax advisor who will file your taxes for you. Either way – complete your 2020 - 2023 income tax returns in no time at all.


// NEW: Expert Service
Taxfix connects you with an independent tax advisor so you can sit back and have your taxes filed for you. Simply upload your documents to the app and a professional will do the rest.

If you decide to file on your own with Taxfix:



// Step by step

Our app retrieves important info from you in a simple, conversational way – much like an interview. The intelligent question flow ensures that you only answer questions relevant to your case.



// No tax expertise required

You don't need tax knowledge to answer our questions. If you are unsure about something, the info boxes within the app offer assistance at any point.



// Simply photograph or upload your documents

Upload or photograph your annual payslip (Lohnsteuerbescheinigung) and a document to confirm your identity. To save you effort, we automatically transfer all relevant data from your annual payslip to the corresponding fields of your tax return.



// Risk-free calculation

Compared to the classic paper-form tax return, Taxfix's income tax calculation offers a distinct advantage: You can have your refund calculated – free of charge – and then decide whether or not you would like us to submit your tax return to the tax office.



// Paperless transmission

Your tax return gets filed electronically, using the tax authorities' official ELSTER interface. Thanks to the paperless transmission to your local tax office, you don't need to print or sign anything. Filing your taxes is a completely contactless transaction with Taxfix.



// Fair pricing policy

Downloading the Taxfix app, using the app, and calculating your tax refund are all free. For a flat fee of €39.99, or €59.99 for married couples and civil partnerships, you can submit your tax return directly to your local tax office. For 20% of your tax refund, you can have your taxes prepared and filed for you by an expert tax advisor.



// Fast & efficient

Did you know that taxpayers in Germany can look forward to an average refund of €1,095? Or that you're able to file your tax returns retroactively for up to four years? With Taxfix you can complete a tax return in under 30 minutes! So, what are you waiting for?

The customer service is fantastic! It is a nice application but unfortunately some existing features disappeared and that is very confusing for the user. Before when you submitted it was still possible to shortly add something. Now not anymore. You should hint this very clearly to the user. I realized now shortly that a data was missed but I cannot edit my application. Also you can fill the data only sequentially now which does not make sense at all. The regular mandatory app update is not nice.

Terrible application that gives a lot of headache. 1. It's super slow. You need to wait for a few minutes to upload each of the page, especially from phone 2. If you want to change something, after the change they scroll till the bottom right away and you always need to go up to keep changing/checking 3. But the worst part - their "miscommunication" about January, 2nd deadline! Which could lead to a huge loss for me, thanks to Wundertax that didn't lie about the true deadline and saved me

I tried my hand on this, but perhaps being an older millennial plays a part in this, but I prefer the UI of a proper desktop-sized application and WISO has been always very reliable and pretty close to perfect. The reviews and costs didn't entice me either, judging by the reviews here. It was a nice experiment, but it simply didn't feel as W well-structured or performant as other solutions.
