Pricing FAQ
When do I pay?
You fill your entire return for free. Payment is only required when you're ready to submit your return to the Finanzamt via ELSTER.
Do I pay for each tax year separately?
Yes — each tax year is a separate one-time payment. Filing 2024 and 2025 requires two separate payments.
Joint filing — one payment or two?
One payment per tax return. If you and your spouse file together (Zusammenveranlagung), that is one return and one payment. Separate returns require separate payments.
How do I know which tier I need?
TaxDost picks the tier automatically based on your return. If you declared Indian income (FD interest, dividends, rental), Cross-Border is required. Students go on the Student tier. Everyone else gets Professional.
Can I get a refund?
Yes — within 14 days of payment if TaxDost has not yet begun the submission. Once we commence submitting your return, the withdrawal right expires per § 356 Abs. 5 BGB. Contact hello@taxdost.de.
