Highly recommended for expats looking for a seamless, professional experience!
Been using ExpatTaxOnline for a number of years now, and they consistently provide a great service! This year, our dedicated contact, Anna Dale, was absolutely fantastic. She did a great job of keeping us informed at every stage of the process and was quick to answer any questions we had. It’s a relief to have someone you can trust with filing your tax return every year.

Excellent communication
Quick, easy and knowledgeable. Constant contact and communication is what I like the most.
Everything went very smoothly.
Smooth process
Despite the onerous paperwork involved, including many FBAR forms, Andrea and the team made the process really easy to get through and helped every step of the way. The cost of preparing the return was much less than that of a competitor I had used in the past, and my refund was deposited into my account just over two weeks after the return was filed. I will definitely be using this company again next year.
First Time Expat Filing
I had never filed taxes as an expat before and was incredibly nervous going into the process, but this company made everything so smooth and organized from start to finish. I never waited more than 12 hours for a personalized response, which made a huge difference in easing my anxiety.
The tax experts were calm, professional, and incredibly reassuring—even when I felt completely overwhelmed. They explained everything clearly and made sure I understood each step, which I really appreciated.
Everything was completed on time, and all documents were easy to access and review. I typically dread filing taxes, but this was by far the most painless experience I’ve ever had.
Highly recommend, especially if you’re feeling unsure or filing as an expat for the first time!
Much better than Turbo Tax
I tried to use Turbo Tax, but since I no longer have a US address, I couldn't pay them.
Turbo Tax said my federal refund was $197, and I owed my state $744.
With Expat Tax Online, my federal refund was $995, and I owe $626 to my state. I saved $798 on my federal and $118 on my state!
They were thorough, timely, and reasonably priced.
I am very pleased!
Everything was great from start to…
Everything was great from start to finish. Always available to ask questions. Would definitely recommend.
Never disappointed!
I have been relying on Expat's tax services for the past several years and have never been disappointed. Communication is excellent at every step of the way, and my tax return is always prepared in a timely manner. This year, I was especially impressed with the new platform, which allows you to ask questions (and receive answers) immediately through chat while completing the questionnaire.
Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures
I used Expat Tax Online for a Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures filing after not having filed U.S. taxes for decades, and the experience exceeded my expectations.
As a U.S. citizen living in South Korea, my situation involved foreign earned income, FBARs, Social Security, and Korean pension income, so I needed a firm that truly understood expat-specific issues. They handled multiple years of returns along with all required FBAR filings as part of the Streamlined submission, and everything was organized clearly and professionally.
What stood out most was how well they guided me through the process. The instructions were precise (including how to properly label and mail the Streamlined package), and they were consistently responsive whenever I had questions. At no point did I feel lost, despite the complexity.
The pricing was very reasonable given the amount of work involved, with no surprise add-ons. After submitting, I was able to follow-up on everything through the IRS system, and my returns have already been accepted, with refunds issued for prior years. The entire process was completed within just a few months.
The biggest benefit is peace of mind. Going from years of non-filing to being fully compliant with the IRS is a huge weight off my shoulders.
I’ve since used them again for my current-year return, which was accepted without issue, and I plan to continue working with them going forward.
Highly recommended for any U.S. expat—especially those considering the Streamlined program.
What a great experience with Expat Tax…
What a great experience with Expat Tax Online! They are so responsive and answered all of my questions came up. We switched companies this year when our coordinator and tax preparer were no longer with the company we were using and they also raised their rates considerably. Our taxes were done quickly and when promised, using their online portal was easy. Jennie our coordinator has been amazing every step of the way! Thank you Jennie!!
Expat Tax Online as able to guide me…
Expat Tax Online as able to guide me through the US tax system that was very alien to me with the end goal of renouncement that was completed.
I was able to understand the time lines and file appropriately. The main thing for me was being kept up-to-date with the overall process and stages. Online collection of tax details was easy as well as final review and the filing itself.
