Frequently asked questions

1. Do you prepare US tax returns for Americans living in the Netherlands?
Yes. TFX prepares US tax returns remotely for US citizens, Green Card holders, and other US taxpayers living across the Netherlands – from Amsterdam and Rotterdam to smaller cities. You upload documents through our secure portal, and an experienced CPA or EA handles your return from start to finish.
2. Can I work with a US tax professional without leaving the Netherlands?
Yes. The entire workflow is remote: secure document upload, online communication, video or phone consultation, and digital signing. You work directly with a US tax consultant through our platform – there's no need to visit an office at any point during the process.
3. Can you help if I already file taxes in the Netherlands?
Yes. Many of our clients already have Dutch employment income, self-employment income, or file annually with the Belastingdienst. We prepare the US side with the information from your Dutch return in mind, coordinating your position across both systems.
4. Can you help me catch up on overdue US tax returns from the Netherlands?
Yes. We review catch-up options and handle the Streamlined Procedure for eligible expats who haven't filed in years. Late US tax returns from the Netherlands are one of the most common situations we work with.
5. Which US tax forms can TFX prepare for clients in the Netherlands?
We prepare federal returns and common expat forms based on your situation, including Form 1040, Form 1116 (Foreign Tax Credit), Form 2555 (Foreign Earned Income Exclusion), FBAR (FinCEN 114), Form 8938, and other forms as needed. If your situation involves Dutch pension accounts, Box 3 investments, or PFIC-classified Dutch funds, we handle the additional reporting those require.
6. What documents should I prepare before starting?
Have your US income documents (W-2s, 1099s), Dutch tax returns or jaaropgave statements if available, bank and investment account details at ING, ABN AMRO, Rabobank, DeGiro, or other institutions, pension account information, and any prior US returns ready. Our questionnaire walks you through what's needed.
7. How does the TFX tax preparation process work for clients in the Netherlands?
You create an account, complete our tax questionnaire, and upload your documents – including your Dutch aangifte or jaaropgave, bank statements, and pension details – through the secure portal. Our team prepares your return, you review the draft, we finalize it, and support continues after filing if any IRS correspondence follows.
8. Do you help dual US-Dutch citizens?
Yes. Dual filing obligations are common among our Netherlands-based clients, particularly those who acquired Dutch nationality through naturalization or birth. Our US expat tax advisors handle dual US-Dutch citizen returns, including FBAR filing, PFIC analysis, treaty elections, and coordination with your Belastingdienst filing. If you're working with another expat tax consultant and want a second opinion, we offer that too.
