Using TFX saves time

This is my 8th year filing my US tax returns with TFX. Filling out the tax questionnaire helps me to provide the tax preparer with the information needed to prepare my tax return. As information that doesn’t change year to year is automatically carried forward, it saves a lot of my time.

Foreign Tax Services made easy

Dean Becker at TFX Tax Services made the entire process easy and transparent. He explained things clearly, answered questions quickly and efficiently, and was always responsive when guidance was needed. Working with him significantly reduced stress around a complex tax situation, and I felt well supported throughout. I would highly recommend TFX Tax Services.

I definitely recommend this service

I recently retained Taxes for Expats to help me complete the Streamlined Procedure to catch up on my tax filing. I have found them to be respectful, helpful, and knowledgeable, and when I've had questions they have been quick to reply, usually by return email. I am not particularly literate in finances, so I had a lot of questions, which I usually sent by email. Although I was offered a phone consultation, I was never pressured to use that service. For personal reasons, I preferred email communication, and they were always helpful with that. When I was slow in getting information to them, they sent email 'nudges' but never felt pushy.

As an expat, I find the US tax filing expectations a frustrating burden, and I wish the system was different, but I'm glad to now be caught up. Taxes for Expats has been super helpful in making the process as straightforward as possible. I would certainly recommend them.

It’s especially meaningful to hear that you felt comfortable communicating in the way that suited you best, and that our team could provide helpful guidance without any pressure. That balance is really important to us.

We completely understand how complex and frustrating U.S. tax requirements can feel for expats, so we’re pleased we could help you get everything up to date with a bit more ease.

Thank you again for your recommendation — it truly means a lot.

Climbing Everest!

"In this world nothing can be said to be certain but death and taxes" proclaimed Benjamin Franklin in 1789, but what is true for me is that I might as well be climbing Everest as the anxiety and dread of wrestling the process of filing my return to the ground take over.
Taxes For Expats are the perfect sherpa's to ease your journey and get you to the summit with as little pain as possible. I can highly recommend their services!

Hi Kahtleen,

The Everest analogy really captures how it feels for so many people, and we're genuinely glad to be your Sherpa.

Tax filing shouldn't require a heroic effort, but we know it often does for expats. Our job is to take as much of that weight off your shoulders as possible — so you can focus on your life abroad, not on wrestling with paperwork.

Thank you for the thoughtful recommendation.

A very efficient service. Their online tax questionnaire is so thorough and guides you through all the information you need to submit. If you have any questions you then deal with a tax accountant who, in my experience, responded almost immediately.

Initial Issue but Resolved Satisfactorily

Update 12/09/2025:
Had my call with the CPA and was able to get all my pending questions answered professionally.

Update 12/08/2025:
The team contacted me early next morning and provided the discovery call that I was originally hoping for. They also explained the cause for the situation and I understand that errors like these can happen. Looking forward to making the actual consultation calls!

Orig: 12/07/2025
I scheduled for a discovery call. The online form allowed me to pick a Sunday time slot (which I was a bit surprised by, but I'm also in a rush), so I did, accepted the calendar invite, verified my phone number on the website and everything. Then came Sunday and no call happened at the agreed-upon time. Funnily enough I got automated messages 1 hour before reminding me about the call, and then 20 minutes later hoping that I had a productive call, so I think I've done my due diligence in ensuring that my side at least is ready for it.

I feel like if I am given the option to pick a slot on Sunday then it should be fair to expect it to work? I was already almost settled upon the tax planning consultation service, but cannot go through with it if "appointments" don't work.

Taxes for Expats logo

Reply from Taxes for Expats

Hi Ting. Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback — and I’m truly sorry for the experience you had. You’re absolutely right: if a Sunday slot was available to book, it should have worked. After reviewing this internally, we discovered that the scheduling tool incorrectly displayed weekend availability for an agent who only takes weekday calls. This was a configuration error on our side, and we take full responsibility for the confusion it caused.

We’ve since corrected the settings to ensure Sunday slots are no longer offered where they aren’t supported.

I completely understand how this would affect your confidence, especially when you were already considering a Tax Planning Consultation. We would really appreciate the chance to make this right and arrange a proper call at a time that works for you. I have asked one of our Onboarding Specialists to reach out to you. Please let me know the best way to reach you, and we’ll ensure your appointment is handled personally and without further issues.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention — your feedback helps us improve.
