Great for German residents. Not built for non-resident landlords.
Taxfix added a landlord pathway with Anlage V and AfA. It's well-built for German residents filing their full Einkommensteuererklärung. If you live outside Germany and only need to file Anlage V for your rental property, you are not their primary user — the flow assumes German residency and its language cues reflect that.

English / German — for German residents.
Taxfix flows target German residents doing a full return. Beschränkte Steuerpflicht and cross-border DBA context are not their first-class path.
The wizard, eligibility gate, and warnings are designed for someone living in Paris, London, Tel Aviv or New York who owns a Berlin or Munich apartment. That changes what we ask and how we frame it.
Taxfix walks you through a full ESt 1 A return. If you only need the Anlage V figures as input to your own filing (e.g. for a Steuerberater in your home country), a one-shot preparation report is cleaner.

Taxfix is a solid choice if you live in Germany and want to file your whole return in one place. If you live abroad and own one rental property in Germany, Anlage V Easy is built for exactly that case.
