Smartsteuer in English? Prepare your non-resident rental figures for €79
A focused €79 English-language route for one non-resident rental property — not another broad German tax interview.
Smartsteuer is the cheaper choice for a broad German-language return: €39.99 per tax year, five submissions and direct electronic filing. But its cited feature list names ESt 1 A and Anlage V, not ESt 1 C. Anlage V Easy focuses on one supported non-resident property: a €79 preparation report in English, French or German for manual ELSTER entry.

Why Anlage V Easy can fit better than Smartsteuer
No English at all
Smartsteuer costs €39.99 per tax year and includes five submissions. The workflow and help remain German-language; browser translation does not establish fiscal eligibility.
Anlage V support does not prove an ESt 1 C path
The official feature list names ESt 1 A and Anlage V, but not ESt 1 C. If you are filing under standard limited tax liability, confirm eligibility before paying for the broader return.
Buy the result, not the full interview
For one supported property, Anlage V Easy calculates the rental figures and gives you an ESt 1 C + Anlage V preparation report for manual ELSTER entry. The price is €79, once.

Choose Anlage V Easy when you are a non-resident sole owner with one supported long-term rental property and want the ESt 1 C + Anlage V figures in English for €79. Choose Smartsteuer when you want its broader German-language return and have confirmed your filing type. Choose a Steuerberater for multiple properties, joint ownership, commercial or short-term rental, or complex cross-border tax.
