Why choose our US expat tax services
Whether you need a US tax advisor in Sweden for annual US filing, cross-border tax services, or catch-up returns, our CPA-led team handles it remotely.
Tax return preparation for US expats
Get US expat tax return preparation handled by a team that works with Americans abroad every day. We prepare US returns for clients throughout Sweden, including those with wages, self-employment income, investment income, foreign taxes paid, and US filing obligations.
Streamlined Procedure
Haven’t filed US taxes from Sweden for several years? You may be eligible to catch-up penalty-free. Our accountants support eligible Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures cases, including the 3 most recent tax years and 6 most recent FBAR years for which the deadlines have passed.
Tax planning & consulting
Get expat tax advice for Swedish employment income, self-employment, investments, pension income, dual-citizen situations, and cross-border life changes. Our service focuses on US tax questions, not Swedish tax return preparation, payroll, VAT, bookkeeping, or Skatteverket representation.
FBAR filing
Accounts held with Swedbank, SEB, Handelsbanken, Nordea, Swedish brokerages, or other foreign institutions may be reportable when the aggregate maximum value of all your foreign accounts exceeds $10,000 at any time during the year. We prepare the FinCEN Form 114 filings as applicable.
FATCA reporting
Swedish financials may report information about US-held accounts to Skatteverket for exchange with the IRS. Separately, we prepare Form 8938 when the aggregate value of your specified foreign financial assets exceeds the applicable IRS threshold for your filing status and residence.
PFIC filing
Many Swedish and other non-US mutual funds, ETFs, or pooled investments may be treated as PFICs, depending on their legal structure, income, and assets. We analyze each investment and prepare Form 8621, including applicable QEF, mark-to-market, or default-method reporting.
Nonresident tax return
TFX prepares Form 1040-NR for non-US citizens in Sweden who have US-source income or another US nonresident filing requirement. This service is separate from US expat tax services for US citizens and green card holders.
Expatriation
US citizens in Sweden who are considering renunciation need to understand the US tax steps before making a decision. We support expatriation tax filings, including compliance review and Form 8854 where applicable.
Amended returns
If a prior US return filed from Sweden missed income, foreign account reporting, credits, or expat forms, an amended return may be needed. We help review what was filed and prepare corrections where appropriate.
Free expat tax extension
Need more time to file your US return from Sweden? We help eligible Americans file Form 4868 by the applicable deadline to request an extension through October 15. The extension provides more time to file, not to pay; interest generally applies to tax unpaid after April 15.
Why Americans in Sweden trust our US expat tax services
I’ve been using TFX since I moved to Sweden in 2015. The app is very easy to manage with a convenient step-by-step process for filing. While the questionnaire is extremely time-consuming and extensive, it is thorough and explains each topic to avoid confusion. I feel confident that these professionals have the most up-to-date yearly tax requirements, so I am not left guessing, and I am always relieved to submit my files and genuinely surprised at just how fast they get things done on their end. I usually recommend it to any Americans I meet here in Sweden.
TFX helped me get back on track with my U.S. taxes 3 years ago after many years living in Sweden not aware of my obligation to do so. Their website is easy to use, and the tax preparers are very professional and very helpful, always answering questions in a very timely manner. I will continue to use their service and will sleep easier knowing my tax returns are completed properly!
First class service. Concise, precise, and very professional. Lots of advice provided and very quick turnaround. Have used this service for the past five years and am totally confident in the service provided. Thoroughly recommend.
I’ve used TFX for several months and have always found them to be absolutely knowledgeable and professional. Far superior to other expat services I’ve used. Recommended.
We had a very complicated tax situation because we incorrectly applied an international tax treaty and needed to correct that. Taxes for Expats helped us through the process. I will definitely use their services again. They take their time, so don't be impatient. But the quality of their work is outstanding.
