> I wonder, how do people in Germany do taxes? They fax them? Many (most?) private households don't have a fax machine. There are several ways of submitting your taxes (e.g. mailing them in), but there's also the Elster app which makes this process fully digital: https://www.elster.de/eportal/start https://www.elster.de/eportal/start Plus various (mostly paid) third-party tools. It's also worth noting that filling out a tax report is optional for most(?) people that aren't self-employed, because taxes are automatically deducted from your salary. You're advised to fill them out, though, as usually you can get some money back (e.g. by deducting money for your commute and other things).
