Why Work with Taxes for Expats?


  • We are expert tax preparers specializing in helping Americans who live abroad. We know the IRS code thoroughly and stay on top of the latest developments that may affect expats. This allows us to find the best solutions for our clients and ensure that they receive the most relevant and up-to-date advice. Our expertise has been recognized by the Tax Law Experts Q&A service where we were awarded the best Knowledgeability rating out of 9 resident tax experts.

  • Accurate and money-saving results. Let's put it this way - we are really into taxes. We like figuring out the best strategy that optimizes your tax bill. We know all common and less-obvious pitfalls facing expats and how to deal with them. Taxes are not rocket science - but IRS is really making it impossible for regular people to effectively do their own taxes while living abroad. Leave it to us and rest assured that you are getting the most qualified tax advice.

  • Simple and Transparent Fee structure - $349 for Federal Tax and $99 for State Returns. Meanwhile our competitors fall in two camps:

    • Qualified professionals who don't even advertise prices on their web sites. They will first request that you provide full details about your financial situation and then they will provide a custom quote. To us this practice sounds too much like a Turkish bazaar negotiation, where your prices will fluctuate based on how much the service provider thinks you are willing to pay.

    • Low-cost providers who outsource the work - in which case, you get exactly what you pay for. The problem with tax preparation is that if prepared incorrectly, you stand to lose thousands - so we'd urge you strongly to check the credentials of the actual preparer who will be working on your return and not be enticed by a rock-bottom price offer.

  • Our focus is excellent customer service. We respond to all inquiries within 24 hours and make sure to treat every customer with personalized attention. We are also very proud of the feedback that over 85 clients have left for us with independent review sites. You can read these testimonials here: Over 85 Reviews

  • Fast turnaround on our services. Our normal turnaround time is fifteen business days. However - we can accommodate clients who require more urgent service. If so - please talk to us about it.

  • We provide Audit Support to our clients. If an IRS audit applies to the year when we handled the tax return, we are fully prepared to face it and can provide this service. All documentation needed for the client's defense is at our disposal. This puts us in an advantageous position when compared to the traditional tax firms who don't keep copies of supporting documents used for the return. We save our clients' tax documents on the secure server, unless the client explicitly requests to delete them.

  • We have created a simple to use yet powerful and secure online system for filing your taxes. Clients upload their documents to our servers where they are stored in case they're needed in the future. While option to email is also available, we do not recommend it for transmission of sensitive documents due to insecure nature of the medium.

  • We've helped over 1,000 expats who live on every continent (even Antarctica!) and work in wide-ranging industries. Our clients range from US Government employees in Africa to self-employed investors in Japan. The tax situation of each new client is different and unique, however in many years of practice we have seen enough to know exactly what to do in most cases.

  • We offer a $75 tax preparation credit when you refer your friends to us. Read more about it here: http://www.taxesforexpats.com/about/referral-program.html
