Hi Connor,

That's really great to hear — and it means a lot that you keep coming back.

We know this process can get complicated, so we work hard every year to make it feel smooth and effortless. Knowing it's working for you is the best feedback we could ask for.

Thanks again for trusting us.

High quality and expert service that makes taxes as painless as possible.

My first time using Taxes for Expats and I have nothing to complain about but I'm personally reluctant to award 5 stars to any business. The on-boarding process was a breeze. Their system answered many of the questions automatically after I uploaded my previous years return, requested confirmation, and stepped me through each part with very detailed help when needed. My assigned accountant was clearly knowledgeable with detailed follow up questions. The service is well worth the cost and the user experience was as smooth and pleasant as possible (we are talking about taxes after all). I will definitely use them again and gladly recommend them to others.

Hi Scott,

We respect the “rarely give 5 stars” philosophy — so this review still feels like a huge win to us 😊

It’s great to hear your first experience with TFX felt smooth from onboarding through to filing, and that both the platform and your accountant helped make a not-so-fun topic as painless as possible. We put a lot of thought into making the process intuitive while still giving clients the depth and expertise they need.

We’re especially glad to hear you’d use us again and recommend us to others — that’s something we never take for granted.

Its very reasonably priced

Its very reasonably priced, efficient (if you are an organized person) and local options I had used had become unreasonably expensive. I have been filing taxes as an overseas American for the past 15 years and have used them for past 4.

Hi Mayuresh,

Thank you for sticking with us over the past four years — especially after 15 years of filing overseas. You've seen a lot of options come and go.

We fully understand why local options have become prohibitively expensive. This is a significant concern for many expats, and we've made efforts to keep prices reasonable without compromising quality. You're also correct that the process is particularly effective for organized clients. However, even for those less organized, our team assists in getting everything sorted.

Appreciate the honest feedback and your continued trust.

I am currently in contact with TFX for US Income Tax Return for a couple of expats

I am currently in contact with TFX for more than a month now.
I filed my tax filling period extension with them, for which they hold 100$ that you can use in their following services. I paid this certain that they would agile in offering me their services, and after talking to them on the phone and confirming that they would be able to get my case figured out.
When I received their engagement letter, it did not contain the services I was promised. I asked for them to add it to the contract. When they added it, they add a $200 extra charge. I then ask them to remove the charge, as they have promised in an email and through the phone that that was included and wouldn't be charged, they then proceed to remove those two services from the contract, which gets us back to ground zero.
It is very difficult to get in contact with them, when I call all lines are busy. They take many days to answer emails. This is a very important service they offer, and they should try to fulfill their promises or at least offer decent explanations. It is not fair to promise a service at a price, then change the terms in the moment of signature of the contract. I almost feel they are scamming me, because they know I have urgency to file for taxes, and just offering a higher price to see if I take it due to said urgency.
This is not a good experience, and I already paid 100$ that they now hold in credit. I would have paid more for service from another company that was more transparent and agile.

Hi Fabricio,

Thank you again for taking the time to engage with us and work through the concerns you raised. I’m pleased that, following further discussions with Reid and our team, we were able to clarify the scope of work, update the engagement letter accordingly, and move forward with your filing.

We genuinely appreciate the opportunity to correct the situation and your willingness to continue working with us in a constructive and meaningful way. Our team will now proceed with your tax preparation and remain available should you need anything further throughout the process.

We hope the steps taken since your original review have helped restore some confidence in our service. If, once everything is completed, you feel your experience has improved, we would certainly welcome any updated reflections you may wish to share.

Hi Fabricio,

Thank you for taking the time to outline your experience in detail. I’m sorry to hear about the frustration and delays you’ve encountered, especially given the time-sensitive nature of your US tax filing.

We understand your concern regarding the inconsistency between what was discussed over email/phone and what was initially reflected in the engagement letter, as well as the subsequent pricing changes and removal of services. We also recognize that communication delays and difficulty reaching our team have added to your frustration. This is not the experience we aim to provide.

We are currently reviewing your case internally, including the correspondence, the agreed scope of services, and how the engagement letter was updated. We also want to clarify exactly what was communicated regarding pricing and what should have been included from the outset.

Regarding the $100 credit you mentioned, we will ensure this is properly accounted for and processed in accordance with your engagement terms once we have completed our review.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and uncertainty this has caused. We will come back to you with a clear explanation and proposed next steps as soon as possible, and we will prioritize resolving this matter promptly.

Thank you for your patience while we look into this.

Kind Regards,
Deborah | Head of Customer Success

Plenty of communication

Plenty of communication. I never felt dropped or out of the loop. Respectful, with good customer service.

As a first time client, I was a bit wary and on the lookout for problems. Here are some things that struck me as possible red flags: 1) The first email from my accountant did not reflect the actual progress of my account - it showed instructions to make a payment etc., but I'd already done that. This was quickly resolved, but it did make me a bit nervous for a minute. 2) At least one of your emails got sent to Spam because of its Subject line "Product". Maybe you expected the message to be read in your online message browser, but when i saw it in my email with that subject line, I immediately thought it was spam or phishing.

Reply from Taxes for Expats

Hi CH,

Thank you for this honest and constructive feedback — especially as a first-time client. Being wary is completely understandable, and we appreciate you giving us a chance while keeping an eye out for issues.

You've raised two fair points:

First, the initial email didn't reflect your actual payment status. I'm glad it got resolved quickly, but I hear you — that moment of uncertainty is not how we want anyone to start their experience. We'll review our automated email triggers to make sure account status is accurate before those go out.

Second, the "Product" subject line lands in spam. That's a really helpful flag. We do intend for clients to read messages within our secure platform, but email notifications are still an important touchpoint, and a subject line that reads like spam or phishing is counterproductive. I've shared this with our team so they can reconsider that wording.

Despite early hiccups, we're glad you felt well-informed and that our customer service was respectful. That's our baseline, and your feedback helps us improve.

Thank you for being candid. We'll look forward to earning even more of your trust next year.

Kind Regards,
Deborah | Head of Customer Success

New client update

This company was referred to me by one of my program managers as we both work for the department of State as contractors. My previous accounting firm ghosted me which was the reason I had to seek out a new company. I am aware that as I am a contractor that I don't need an extension but I'm filling out one anyway just to cover basis. They're very professional very detailed and I think I'm going to enjoy this relationship that I'm starting. To be determined I guess. So far so good though.

Hi Kenneth,

Thank you for giving us a try — especially after being ghosted by your previous firm. That's a frustrating experience no one should have to deal with, and we appreciate you trusting us to step in.

We're glad to hear that your program manager's referral led you our way, and that you've found us professional and detailed so far. Filing as a contractor does come with its own considerations, and it's smart of you to think ahead with the extension to cover your bases.

We don't take the "to be determined" lightly — trust is built over time, not overnight. But we're off to a good start, and we'll work hard to earn that full confidence with each filing season.

Welcome aboard, and we look forward to showing you what this relationship can be.

I love these people. Their service is so straight forward and fairly priced. The competence and personal attention to my financial situation, year after year, is such a comfort in an area that feels overwhelming.

Thank you for trusting us year after year with something that genuinely matters: your financial situation, your small business overseas, and your peace of mind. Owning a business abroad is already a lot to wrap your head around — you shouldn't have to lose sleep over US tax reporting on top of it.

Hearing that our service feels straightforward, fairly priced, and personally attentive is exactly what we aim for. That sense of comfort in an otherwise overwhelming area? That's the highest compliment we could receive.

I had an excellent experience with Taxes for Expats

I had an excellent experience with Taxes for Expats. As someone navigating the complexities of international tax obligations, I was looking for a service that truly understands the nuances of expatriate taxation—and they delivered on every level.

Their team demonstrated deep expertise in cross-border tax matters, including filing requirements, foreign income reporting, and compliance with U.S. regulations. What stood out most was their ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and practical way, which made the entire process far less stressful.

Communication was prompt, professional, and personalized. I felt supported throughout, with clear timelines and proactive follow-ups. They also ensured that everything was handled accurately and efficiently, giving me confidence that my filings were fully compliant.

I would highly recommend Taxes for Expats to anyone living abroad who needs reliable, knowledgeable, and client-focused tax support.

Hi Rey & John,

This is such a thoughtful and detailed review. Thank you for taking the time to share it.

Navigating international tax obligations is genuinely complex, and you've put your finger on exactly what we strive for: deep expertise paired with clear, practical explanations. Complex concepts don't help anyone if they're not communicated in a way that actually reduces stress, so hearing that our team delivered on that front means the world to us.

We're also glad you felt supported throughout. That level of care shouldn't be the exception; it should be the standard, especially when the stakes are high, and you're filing from abroad.

Thank you for the strong recommendation to fellow expats. Knowing you feel confident and fully compliant is the best outcome we could ask for.
