TFX make the unbearable bearable

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.

They know what they're doing + awesome service.

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 :)
