US Expats Tax Services

US citizens who live abroad are not necessarily off the hook when it comes to doing their US taxes. In fact, the home country – United States – is one of two countries in the world that have citizen-based taxation. No matter where an American lives in the world, they are bound to the task of reporting their worldwide income to the IRS every year using one of the US expat tax services.

When it comes to reporting or filing US taxes year after year, many Americans abroad go to a tax professional or service for help. Especially since filing the federal tax return can be a complicated process to do. However, there are many US expat tax services around the world that cater to Americans abroad… so how do you know which one is the best? 

Factors for choosing the best US expat tax service as an American abroad can be that it fits within budget, provides smooth service, good customer reviews, and gets your US tax forms submitted in time. 

Fortunately, we at MyExpatTaxes believe we can not only fit your US expat needs but exceed your expectations. Here is why:

Founded by a US Expat

Nathalie Goldstein is CEO and co-founder of MyExpatTaxes. She originally struggled with expat taxation while living abroad as an American in Vienna, Austria. In our press release, we mention how she paid over $500 to a tax professional to take care of her US taxes. During that time, Nathalie had to endure the pain of signing and mailing papers back and forth, plus the professional put Australia instead of Austria as an address.

Fed up with the reality of expat taxation being difficult for modern-day living, she decided to do three things. One is to hire a team of IT engineers, then become an enrolled agent and create her own company.

The purpose of all of this was to create an expat tax product 9 million Americans abroad can benefit from. Therefore, Nathalie and the team decided to build an expat tax software system. MyExpatTaxes eventually became what is now the only expat tax software out there where Americans abroad can get their US taxes done smoothly.

MyExpatTaxe is made affordable because the team knows the cost of living can be a nightmare for Americans abroad. Plus, the software is so simple and smooth, expats can file their US taxes in 30 minutes or less.

“MyExpatTaxes empowers US expats to stay tax compliant by making the process of filing taxes smooth and enjoyable. The software is already making ripples in Goldstein’s founding city of Vienna, Austria, and is expected to make waves globally.”

Michelle H. on Medium.com

Since the release and success of the tax software for US citizens abroad, Nathalie and the MyExpatTaxes team have been featured a variety of expat publications and communities sharing the good news of the software.

“Prior to finding MyExpatTaxes, I had researched a lot about finding someone familiar with both US and Spanish tax laws. I truly wish I had found MyExpatTaxes earlier, as I wasted so much time and energy with other options.

Easy to use the platform and great service. After years of fighting to get through tax returns on my own, it‘s great to finally have a resource at a price I can live with. Great job Nathalie and team!” – Vinco, a US expat in Norway.
