I started out on Turbo Tax, as I have been using them for years, but got to a spot where I couldn't get through for the taxes paid foreign income earned. the software went round and round. I panicked and found expatfile. It took care of it with no problem and I got a refund!!
Started filing at the last minute (Well almost). In a few minutes all was done and dusted. Thanks Expat file!
My son recommended this saying it was filing for dummies - I didn't really believe him, but when he told me I didn't have to pay until the end I thought I'd try it. It was all done in 45 minutes and it was unbelievably easy - in fact, not only easier than doing it myself, but MUCH easier than sending documents to US tax accountants, who charge three times as much. Fantastic user experience.
wanted an extension. it took 2 min to submit and 2 minutes for an email saying the extension request was accepted by the IRS. No Fee (I have used Expat File for the past 4 years). phew. more time to procrastinate. Thanks Expatfile :)
They made the task simple. They did miss my last year refund to be applied to this years obligation. Perhaps I did not allow the program to pick up the refund from last year's computation with your program.
Very helpful and patient support. Every question regardless how simple and obvious was answered with usable information and friendliness. Support stayed with me until the situation was completely resolved.
Having been an expat for 30+ years... This service takes the confusion and frustration away. I've been using it for 3 years now and so happy with it.
Ive been using Expatfile for seven years and Ive always been impressed and very happy with its ease of use and excellent customer service
Great user experience, very easy to submit. Have been happily using for years.
Overall this went well, but CHATGPT really helped guide me through this return. The customer service though for EXPATFILE was excellent though. Thanks everyone!
A representative helped me with my issue. They responded to my support request quickly and resolved my case <24 hours. Very happy with the customer service.
Too expensive, especially when transferred from last tax return. more equitable price would be $75.00 or equivalent in €. Service was good though.
Thanks for your feedback!
So easy and straightforward, takes the stress out of the process every year!
Expatfile made my complex (SFOP) and simpler tax filings tax filings so easy. User interface is clean, easy to follow and informative throughout the application process.
