SteuerGo FAQs

Online submission with identification

With online submission with identification, SteuerGo transfers your tax data directly to the tax authorities via the so-called ELSTER interface using a secure SSL connection. As the tax data is processed electronically within the administration, a simplified tax return is provided, meaning you need to submit significantly fewer documents to your tax office than with a conventional tax return.

To use this procedure, you must digitally identify yourself for security reasons.

At the end of the data transfer to the tax office, a confirmation of receipt and the compressed tax return will be displayed as a PDF file for your records. The confirmation of receipt acknowledges the receipt of your data on the tax office's servers. The compressed tax return contains all your tax data that was transferred to the tax office over the Internet.

If you want to submit the tax return online to the tax office, user identification is legally required (§ 87d Fiscal Code). Before the data is transmitted, SteuerGo must verify the identity and address of the submitting client. For this purpose, we use various methods to identify you as a user during the online submission.
