What Applies When You Inherit?
If you've received an inheritance, an inheritance tax return may be required β for example, if the tax-free allowance is exceeded. This type of return cannot currently be filed using the Taxfix app β we do not currently support inheritance tax returns.
π If you're unsure whether you need to file a return, whether you're authorized, or whether the tax-free allowance has been exceeded (e.g., β¬400,000 for children, Β§β―16 ErbStG), itβs best to consult a tax advisor.
Can I File a Tax Return for a Deceased Person?
Yes, thatβs possible β under certain conditions.
If you are legally entitled (e.g., as sole heir or with a power of attorney), you can use Taxfix to submit the income tax return for a deceased person. Youβll find more information in this article:
