The cost was £300 less than the accountant I hired online previously, and cheaper than TaxAct or TurboTax - unlike these sites, I could pay with my UK card and use my UK phone number. Using TaxAct, I... See more

I work abroad
I work abroad, and ExpatFile made filing my taxes easy. I could plug in the numbers in foreign money instead of converting it to U.S. dollars. Also, the process was quick. I finished within 20 minutes.

Outstanding customer service
Expatfile was very easy to use - a simple and well designed website. But what made it outstanding was the customer service I received in trying to sort out a particular issue with my Australian superannuation. The team was incredibly responsive and helpful - very highly recommended.
Very impressed
Very impressed. Worth every penny for the speed and ease in which it was done.✅
Wonderful experience!
I've always done my taxes myself before, but this year got complicated so I looked for help. This was a PLEASANT experience. It was easy, and if i was unsure about how to answer a question, I just asked on the live chat and they answered within a minute.
Wonderful experience!

Expat file makes filing extremely easy and their customer support is the best that I've ever had.
Fairly easy to file
Fairly easy to file. But there are a few hickups on the way. First, the handling of foreign addresses sucks (I had to manually enter them when the software was unable to find the address typed). And it was difficult to maintain overview during entry; I would have liked to see the actual return as I proceeded through the entry. Instead I had to wait seeing it till after full payment - and then go back an adjust as needed
Very easy
Very easy. Easier if you file it every year from previous input record. Expatfile also has a professionals answer your questions at any time.

I received immediate answers to all my dobts in a very professional and friendly manner
Very easy to use
Completely intuitive!
Slick interface with quick and helpful chat function
Slick interface with clear explainers when needed, simplifying the US's ludicrous and Soviet-style tax code. I used the chat service twice and both times got an immediate and helpful reply that enabled me to progress — even on a weekend and after hours. To help the platform become even better, I'd suggest... (1) Provide a clear template or even spreadsheet for assembling the required data beforehand; (2) Improve the address entry format (bc there are not enough boxes and an unhelpful address predictor); and, (3) More options to copy details between entries (e.g. bank and home addresses, since these are often shared between sposes).
Finally data input for expats
The entry fields are more open, built for expats -- they don't create false "errors" or other barriers if the info does not fit a standardized field.
