When I google online tax return, I am shown six different tools with which I can prepare my electronic tax return. But which one is right for me? We have tested four programmes for you.

Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox have long since become part of everyday digital life. These systems are particularly useful for tax returns, as they can be operated from many different devices. Today I want to show you the simple steps you can take to use your Drive even more efficiently.

Many of you have wished that you could manage documents together. The latest order form should be easily accessible to all colleagues, your partner's payslip should also be included in your joint tax return, the electricity bill should also go to your flatmates and your tax advisor needs more than just one document. At the same time, it is important to you that security is also guaranteed with this form of collaboration. We have thought about all this and have a proposal that we present to you today.

At the moment, everything revolves around the tax return - the deadline is 31 May. Don't worry if you haven't filed your tax return yet. You are probably not affected. The deadline only applies to those who are obliged to file a tax return. Without an application, a deadline extension until 31 December of the following year is granted if you have your tax return prepared by a tax advisor or an income tax assistance association.

Regardless of whether you are obliged to file a tax return or do so voluntarily, whether you use a tax programme or not - in any case you must have a lot of documents ready. Not only to prove expenses, for example, but also to fill out the forms in the first place. Traditionally, this means taking out a file folder and leafing through it. Those who manage their documents digitally have a clear advantage here. With a full-text search, intelligent keywording, meta-information and sorting options, you can find things faster and with less stress.
