Much more affordable option for complicated personal taxes

We shopped around a got quotes from other organizations that were far more expensive and many that didn't even respond to our query. If you have questions TFX gets back to you in a timely manner and explain things well. If you want $25 credit, when you sign up for TFX go to their web site and add /clt/AM1142 after .com

Hi Alicia,

Sounds like you did your homework — and we’re glad we could stand out for both value and responsiveness.

Clear explanations and timely replies make a big difference, especially with more complex filings, so it’s great to hear that came through.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

Be Careful

Where to start? The first problem was that I had a PFIC investment, which they didn't catch. I had to spend time convincing my accountant that it was a PFIC.

Secondly, in spite of the fact that I listed all of my foreign accounts on the original tax questionnaire, they failed to mention that I should file an FBAR, which I had to do after the fact. I paid them close to $1,000, and I think I spent the same amount of time (or probably more) doing my taxes with them this year than I would have doing it on my own.

Hi Max,

We appreciate your feedback and we’re sorry to hear that your initial experience led to some frustration.

That said, we do want to clarify that your case was reviewed in detail with both a senior CPA and our Tax Operations Manager. The points you raised — including the PFIC classification and FBAR requirements — were addressed, your engagement letter was updated accordingly, and your return was completed with the appropriate guidance.

We can also see that you remain in active communication with our Tax Manager, and our team continues to respond to your questions and provide support.

It is important to note that tax matters of this nature can be complex, and in some cases require clarification and follow-up to ensure everything is handled correctly - prior to filing. We’re glad that, through that process, your filing was ultimately completed accurately and with the right level of oversight.

We hope that the continued support you’ve received reflects the level of service we aim to provide, and that your overall experience with the resolution is taken into consideration.

Kind Regards,
Deborah | Head of Customer Success

Very responsive

From the initial consultation through to engagement, the entire process was handled in a timely and professional manner. I'd like to specifically call out Brendan O'Donoghue, who conducted my initial consultation. He answered all of my questions thoroughly and was very responsive over email throughout the process.

Hi Melissa,

Ten years with us — that’s amazing, thank you!

Getting everything done in 20 minutes sounds like a win, and it’s great to hear the process keeps getting easier each year. Even better that your return was turned around so quickly.

We’ll keep working to make it even smoother next time around.

Disappointing experience with pricing transparency

Before moving forward, I called and explained my tax situation to a TFX representative. Based on that conversation, I was given an estimated price range. I was then encouraged to pay $50 in order to receive a $100 discount on my offer. Unfortunately, the actual offer ended up being hundreds of dollars higher than the estimate.

In the end, I chose to go somewhere else for my taxes and paid about half the price. I was also told by another tax professional that some of the documents included as extra charges in TFX’s offer were unnecessary.

My main frustration is losing the $50, although I’m glad I was able to find a better, more accurate for my needs, and more affordable option elsewhere.

Hi Sara,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience — I’m really sorry to hear this was frustrating for you. I completely understand how disappointing it must have been to receive an offer that differed significantly from the initial estimate, especially after making the prepayment.

We’d really like the opportunity to look into this further and understand exactly what happened here, including the pricing and the additional forms that were included.

If you’re open to it, could you please share your contact details via email at success@tx.tax and mark it for my attention - I will review your case in detail to determine how we can make this right for you.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope we can resolve this for you.

Professional and Efficient

As a dual US–UK citizen, I’ve been using TFX for over 15 years and have consistently found them to be professional, efficient, and easy to work with.

This year my tax return was particularly complex, with income from my salary, State Pension, and retirement funds, so I was understandably concerned about the potential tax implications. TFX handled everything smoothly, clarified the details, and left me with real peace of mind.

I would highly recommend their services.

Peace of mind is a big win, and we’re really pleased we could give you that reassurance.

Easy process, timely communication

The Taxes for Expats user experience is excellent. Starting with the online questionnaire, which is easy to fill out, has helpful tips, and lets you leave comments on specific questions in case you're not sure how to answer or have additional info to share. Once I submitted the questionnaire, I received my draft return quickly and with clear guidance on what to review. My questions were also answered quickly and thoroughly. Overall, I highly recommend. My only wish is that they could help with my non-US return!

My accountant was extremely responsive and on top of everything. I was nervous about my specific tax situation and did not feel comfortable doing my own taxes as I have in years past.

Over several years with TFX Pats filing… wonderful experience

Over several years with TFX Pats filing my taxes, I was once again very satisfied. This year Sherrie Weldon, EA. was assigned to me.
My experience was wonderful. She was always very helpful and knowledgeable but importantly, very professional and always very pleasant. Thank you Sherrie!
I would encourage TXFPats to recognise her successes with positive recognition so as to ensure she’ll continue helping other TFXPat clients.
