Re: German Tax software?
Overall we are very satisfied. - Started with Test Buhl Wiso steuer version which is free to see how it goes. Printing the documents and filing are options that are not available in the test version, other stuff works like in a paid one. You can use software on your computer (pages couldn't be trans...

Re: Riester-Rente - keep it going or not?
As expected, it is not available to everybody. Their reply: Guten Tag, You are interested in our direct depot. It's good that you're asking. It is so: The USA have significantly tightened their securities and tax laws. For us, this means: new requirements and documentation requirements, more effort ...

Hello Panda,PandaMunich wrote: ↑Tue Aug 19, 2025 9:11 pm --> put what you can save into your ING ETF Sparplan instead.
Would that savings plan be available to US citizens? I've sent the a question, but I am not sure how soon should expect their answer.

Re: Leaving Germany in the first half of the year
You can call it what you want.
It is a tax if I have to send more money to the Government due to something being applied in the calculation.

Re: ReparaturBonus - repair subsidy for electrical appliances
I have fixed mine, cousin’s and friend’s washers for free.
Where is my bonus
Both of them wanted to replace the machines since they thought that they have already passed the warranty time. Fixing them helped so much on polluting!

Re: An apartment (under mortgage) as a gift to our child
Thank you Sam and Panda. We appreciate your thoughts and information you posted. We are thinking of starting something. We would keep the property for a longer time, at least 10 years. Just thinking loudly, it is probably easier to have just one larger property than two, and sell it later on when we...

Hello all, We are thinking of a possibility to gift our children an apartment in future, so we would like to know what could be future implications. Taxation for us and a child when she and she would get it. Here is our idea. 1. Two of us (German residents) buying an apartment in Munich. For example...

Interest income generated in Germany taxed by the US too?
Hello, We are US citizens residing in Germany. At the same time we had some interest generated on our Tagesgeld account here in Germany on which Santander bank already took approx. 26% for German taxes. Now when we are doing US taxes, I can see that US wants to tax that same generated interest again...

Re: National Insurance Class 3 contributions and German tax
Thanks Panda, looks like my mind was not following the stuff. It sounds crazy that just having them with no dividends being distributed/collected would trigger paying taxes on unrealized gain. What would happen with people that have 401Ks and now live in Germany? They are not contributing to the pla...
