Did you do your own Steuererklärung, or hire a Steuerberater?

Tax season questions for the community:

• DIY (ELSTER, WISO, Taxfix, Smartsteuer): which tool? Easy enough?
• Steuerberater: worth the cost? How much did you pay?
• Skipping it entirely: are you required to file, or did you opt out?

For Americans here — yes, the FBAR struggle is real. We feel you. 😅
