Doing US taxes when living abroad is scary, tedious, and generally overwhelming, BUT TFX makes the process bearable, dare I say even easy. They break down the process into manageable steps with clear instructions. They give you support and answer your questions along the way. I trust them totally. I wouldn't file a US return from abroad without them. I have used them for many years and will continue to do so.

I have been a customer living abroad for more than 10 years and having used the services of TFX for all that time I have never been disappointed in the expertise and quick response of the consultants I have been assigned. TFX is very thorough and easy to work with. The advice has been excellent and the help very professional. Thank you.

I was surprised in a very good way to see how pro and efficient they are. I live in Switzerland and for American expats it is not easy to try to find someone that can help us file US. Taxes for Expats managed to do it a record time. They just ask you to provide certain docs and they take care of the rest. I would highly recommend them :)
Verified
Great customer service, they helped me with all my questions along the way, even some tricky ones. Using Taxes for Expats really takes a weight off my shoulders in terms of filing taxes.

Simple, easy to provide the information necessary. Guide me nicely and respond promptly. Been using them since 2017.
