How steuerErklärungApp works
From your account to submission: the steps at a glance.
Getting started
Create an account, choose your language and the tax years. If you like, upload your last tax assessment – then we already suggest some answers.
Answering questions
The questionnaire goes through your situation topic by topic and skips what does not apply. You can upload documents at any time; you confirm the values we read.
Check, pay, submit
Before submission we check your answers for gaps and contradictions. Then you see a summary, pay and send the return to the tax office via ELSTER.
