🚀 Your Guide
🔧 What is ELSTER?
The Taxfix app uses the official ELSTER interface of the tax administration for the digital submission of your tax return.
ELSTER (Electronic Tax Return) is the official platform of the German tax authorities. Taxfix automatically prepares your data and transmits it encrypted to your responsible tax office.
🔒 Secure and fast submission
The transmission is entirely digital. You don’t need to print, sign, or mail your tax return.
Taxfix is a licensed software provider and is authorized to submit returns without a signature. Your identity is confirmed through an uploaded document, which replaces the signature.
📄 Tracking your tax return
In the Taxfix app, you can check the status of the submission. Simply open the relevant tax year.
- View the transmission log: The transmission log provides details about the submission and the responsible tax office.
- Wrong tax office? If your tax office is incorrect (e.g., after moving), you will see which office is now responsible and get the corresponding contact details.
🚧 Problems with submission?
If your tax office has not received your tax return, there may be various reasons. If you are unsure, contact Taxfix customer support for assistance. This may also result in longer waiting times:
- Technical transmission error: Try submitting again.
- Tax return not submitted: Check in the app whether the submission was completed.
- Identification process not successful: Open the app and follow the instructions for identity verification.
- Wrong tax office: Check the responsibility and contact the correct tax office if necessary.
- Delays with ELSTER: Wait a few hours and check the status again.
