WISO Steuer in English? Prepare your ESt 1 C + Anlage V figures for €79

Prepare your ESt 1 C + Anlage V figures in English for €79 — without forcing a non-resident case into resident-only software.

WISO Steuer is excellent full-return software for German residents. But WISO's own FAQ says it cannot create a return for people subject only to limited tax liability under §1 Abs. 4 EStG. Anlage V Easy is the narrower €79 route: prepare one supported property's ESt 1 C + Anlage V figures in English, then enter them in ELSTER yourself.

Best fit: a non-resident sole owner with one long-term rental property in Germany. You receive an ESt 1 C + Anlage V preparation report and enter the figures in ELSTER yourself. For multiple properties, joint ownership or complex cross-border tax, use a Steuerberater.

Why Anlage V Easy can fit better than WISO Steuer

WISO excludes the standard limited-liability return

Its official FAQ limits return creation to people subject to unlimited German tax liability and explicitly excludes §1 Abs. 4 EStG cases.

Language is the second filter, not the first

A resident who qualifies for WISO still needs to work through German tax terminology. A standard non-resident cannot solve the eligibility gap with translation.

Pay for the job you actually need

WISO is a full German tax suite. Anlage V Easy stays on the narrower job: calculate one supported rental property and turn it into an ESt 1 C + Anlage V preparation report for manual ELSTER entry.

Our take

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 WISO for a broader German return when you are eligible for its resident scope. Choose a Steuerberater for multiple properties, joint ownership, commercial or short-term rental, or complex cross-border tax.

One supported property. One ESt 1 C + Anlage V preparation report. €79.

Work through the rental figures in English, French or German, then copy the finished line-by-line values into ELSTER yourself.
