What SteuerGo is
SteuerGo is an online service for preparing and submitting annual German income tax returns. SteuerGo, founded in 1999 and headquartered in Berlin, Germany, provides a guided interview with explanations, tax-saving tips, and an estimate that changes as information is entered. IntelliScan uses AI to read tax-relevant documents and import recognized details. With authorization, selected tax-office records such as wage-tax statements and health or care insurance contributions can be retrieved, limited to the most recent four tax years. Completed returns can be sent electronically through ELSTER. SteuerGo compares an assessment with the return and supports an appeal, and previous SteuerGo data can be carried forward. It supports self-employment, investment income, and rental income. Browser access covers Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad, and Android, with mobile apps. There is no free plan, but an anonymous free test is offered. The listed starting price is €34.95.
