Lots of inadequacy with Expatfile I spent hours trying to navigate and get my taxes done properly. Unfortunately it was not until the end of the process that I found out that the software did not have the capability to fill out specific forms like 1099NEC and 1099MISC. That made the software think that my income was from a foreign source and it really complicated things and slapped some uneccesary forms in the mix. No place to claim vehicle expenses in a detail way and I just did not feel like it was filing my return the right way and I was right about that. I heard someone say Turbotax is terrible for filing expat returns and that is definitely not true. I switched to Turbotax online and it did a great job, answered all my questions, and guided me with unfamiliar things the whole time. It was even able to take care of the partial residence in the US with transitional things like health care premiums etc. I think that Expat might be good for very simple returns but be very careful because if you cannot enter the 1099 forms properly, it will think the all the your income is from foreign source just because you live in a foreign country. That would be a bumper because you will end up having to use the foreign earned income exclusion and forms like that. In Expat there was also no place to enter IRA contributions as well and people living overseas are entitled to that deduction. The refund that expatfile showed me was a lot less than what I got with Turbotax. Something like a $500 difference.

Straightforward system The system is simple and straightforward and I highly recommend! I found it a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stressful environment trying to be responsible about filing my taxes without forking over an arm and a leg in fees for a straightforward (one job overseas) type return. There are people available for questions via chat or email and I’ve found their response time and understanding of my questions to be five star as well. Thank you Expatfile!

I love using Expatfile.tax Great service Expatfile.tax provides. I always found it daunting working overseas and worrying about my yearly taxes to the US. Using Expatfile.tax it really does not take any longer than 20-25 minutes with their easy click and fill in solution. If you do run into problems support responds to your every email within minutes. Highly recommend for Americans working overseas. Give them a try!

It was the easiest tax experience I've… It was the easiest tax experience I've ever had. They only asked me for relevant information and filed it for me too. I put off my taxes for so long with anxiety, yet was finished in no time at all. I will recommend this to every expat I meet.

Excellent Customer Service I used the APP to file my tax return, the APP is very easy to use, but I got stuck at E-Filing to IRS, with almost 10 repeated try, the Custom Service found that I have made a minor mistake in my birthday, I corrected and successfully got it E-Filed ! thanks to the very patient and good heart Max.
