I was feeling nervous about filing, after not filing for years while traveling, and trying to receive the US stimulus payments. Thankfully all my important questions were answered quick and easily in the chat feature before I even got started.

I appreciated your quick support in understanding why the file for my 2021 taxes was rejected. I was also thankful that you guys helped me with the tool so I could edit and resubmit my 2020 taxes.

I found out I would need to file my US taxes so that I could get a W1040 so I could apply for healthcare. I had not done my US taxes in years.. Expatfile made it dead simple and easy to do. If, like me, you do not know where to begin and are leery of the websites/services that charge thousands of dollars, this is the real deal.

I filed my US taxes from Sweden for the first time with Expatfile. The process was much smoother than TurboTax, particularly with entering non-US addresses and automatic conversion of foreign currencies into USD. I also found the phrasing of the questions super clear.
