Taxfix review
A guided German tax platform with self-service filing and an Expert option.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Taxfix is a German digital tax platform for employees, students, retirees, landlords, and certain self-employed or small-business users. Its question-and-answer workflow is available through the web, iOS, and Android, helping users prepare individual or joint returns, estimate refunds, scan and store documents, and submit electronically through ELSTER. Supported cases depend on tax-year and taxpayer circumstances, so it is aimed at users who want guided preparation rather than unrestricted coverage of every tax situation.
Pricing is structured around self-prepared returns and adviser assistance. Basic individual filing costs EUR 39.99 per year or EUR 49.99 as a one-time purchase. Basic joint filing costs EUR 59.99 per year or EUR 69.99 one time. The Basic plans are free until submission, but Taxfix does not offer a free plan for submitted returns. The Expert service is priced per filing, with an independent tax adviser preparing the return, a personal document checklist, and direct contact with the assigned expert. Expert pricing is 20% of the refund with a EUR 99.99 minimum.
The strongest fit is for German users who value a guided digital process and want ELSTER filing, correction or resubmission before the tax office begins processing, and support for eligible rental or small-business cases. The Expert tier adds a clear path for users who prefer an adviser to prepare the return. Taxfix is less suitable when a case falls outside its supported rental or self-employed scenarios, or when a user wants completely free submission. The platform’s narrow focus on German tax returns makes eligibility and case complexity important considerations before choosing a plan.
