DoIt Right
GBLots 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.

COThey stand by their word They offered me a free tax return file for a mixup we had the previous year and they kept their word. Good service and very easy to use platform. Definitely recommend ExpatFile if you’re a digital nomad like myself.

CAThis was amazingly easy with great customer service! This was amazingly easy after years of struggling to get Turbo Tax to understand the process of filing taxes in the US as someone living and working abroad and earning all their income abroad. After having a huge mistake made by Turbo Tax last year it was a relief to have another option to turn to and well worth the cost, and I got immediate assistance even on a weekend evening from customer service when I had trouble retrieving the correct data from my last return to e-file. Thanks for a great experience!

TWExcellent 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.

GBUpdate for 2024 tax refund Update for 2024 tax refund Not sure how to do an update so I am just writing another short review. I have already received my refund and is not even the end of April. I submitted a tax refund to turbo tax for what I think was the year 2020 or 2021 and still have not heard back. I will never use any other application again. I could not be happier!
