Why Americans in France trust our US expat tax services
For the last five years I have been, as resident in France, relying on TFX for my taxes. The accountants are responsive and professional. I recommend strongly TFX.
As an expat in France, and now retired in Spain, I have been working with Taxes for Expats for several years. Taxes in the US have always been complicated, and they make the whole procedure easy and painless.
I have earned income in France, pension income in France, a pension from U.S. Social Security, earned income in the U.S. and dividends and capital gains in the U.S. I have lost track of the number of different forms that I am supposed to file. The Taxes for Expats site is well done, and allows me to enter all the information conveniently. In case of problems or questions, the person who follows my case is available to help. I'm really glad that I found them.
TFX has been extremely helpful in dealing with my taxes over the past 10 years as a US citizen living in France. Great customer care and very professional! I highly recommend their services.
I have been living in France for a long time now but my tax return got complicated recently and a good friend recommended TFX for their professional advice, having taxes completed and for peace of mind! They were very reactive and we spoke by phone before I signed up and during the process I also needed to ask some questions. All went very well and the website is so user friendly I really liked that also. I highly recommend this website they are a great service.
