Tax filing for people who lived in Germany for only part of the year

At Taxfix, we have made it our mission to make the tax return as fast and easy as possible so that every taxpayer gets the money they are entitled to in less time, with less stress. To better serve our users, we have recently expanded the groups we can support with their tax filing.

Our newest feature allows employees who moved to Germany within the tax year to complete their tax returns with the Taxfix tax app.

Also, employees who have moved away from Germany within the tax year can now efficiently complete their tax return with Taxfix.

For the part of the year when you lived outside of Germany, Taxfix can support your filing of all types of income from abroad. For tax law purposes, the income from abroad received while living outside of Germany is treated the same way.

Based on the nature of the income you received from abroad while living in Germany, there may be some limitations on whether the app can support you. If you had income from abroad while you lived in Germany, our newly expanded tax app could only help you with the following income:

You received a salary for an earlier job abroad, for example, subsequent payments or bonus payments that were paid after moving to Germany.

You received a salary from a foreign employer for an activity performed in Germany while physically living in Germany (with no working days abroad.)

You received income from renting or leasing property, which locates within the EU or EEA.

You received income from agriculture and forestry from an agricultural enterprise located within the EU or EEA.

You received interest and dividends on foreign accounts. Any foreign tax paid will not be credited.

These cases also apply if you did not live abroad during the tax year, but still had income from abroad.

If you are not sure whether your tax situation is covered by the new features of the Taxfix tax app, it’s OK. Start your tax return using the app. The intelligent application immediately identifies whether it can support you or not. The registration is free of charge and risk-free.
