Focus of our practice
01 / The problem
Living abroad shouldn’t make tax season feel impossible.
Most U.S. tax preparers rarely see a return with foreign income on it. So the questions pile up: which country taxes what, whether an account abroad needs reporting, what your old state expects now, what happens to the years you skipped while you were getting settled.
You shouldn’t have to become an international tax expert to stay compliant. That’s our job.
Talk it through with us→- □“I’m paid in a foreign currency by a foreign employer.”
- □“I have bank accounts and investments outside the U.S.”
- □“I run a company registered in another country.”
- □“I moved mid-year and lived in two countries.”
- □“I haven’t filed a U.S. return in years.”
- □“Do I still owe my old U.S. state anything?”

IRS Notices & Issues
Got a letter you don’t understand? Send it over and we’ll tell you what it says and what it needs.
Ask about your notice→04 / How it works
Three steps. That’s it.
01
Book a consultation
Pick a time and tell us about your situation: where you live, how you earn, what’s been filed and what hasn’t.
02
We handle the complexity
We confirm the scope, quote a flat fee, collect what we need, and prepare your filings.
03
File with confidence
You review, we file, and you know exactly what was submitted and what comes next year.
05 / Pricing
Know what you’re paying before we start.
No two expat situations look alike, so we don’t publish a standard price list. Instead, every engagement gets a flat fee for a defined scope, agreed in writing before any work begins.
01
One number, up front
You get your fee in writing after the consultation. You decide whether to go ahead knowing the full cost.
02
Priced to your situation
A single federal return and five years of catch-up filings are different jobs. Your fee reflects the actual scope, not a package you don’t need.
03
Never billed by the hour
No meter running on your emails or questions. If something genuinely changes the scope, we tell you and re-quote first.

In their words.
I’d gone three years without filing because every accountant I spoke to went quiet the moment I mentioned foreign income. Here it was just a normal Tuesday. I knew the fee before anything started.
I run a company registered outside the U.S. and needed someone who understood both sides of it. The questions I got asked told me straight away they had seen my situation before.
I moved mid-year with income in two countries and assumed it would be a nightmare. It was explained in plain English, priced up front, and done.
07 / About
A tax firm designed for Americans abroad.
ExpaTaxes exists because the U.S. tax system doesn’t let go when you leave the country, and most tax practices aren’t set up for what happens next. We built ours the other way around: expat situations first, everything remote, pricing agreed up front.
Behind it is over five years of tax experience and a preference for plain answers over jargon. You’ll always know what we’re doing, why, and what it costs.
Who you’ll be working with
Zaif J
Founder / Head Accountant
ExpaTaxes began with a frustration: Americans abroad kept getting handed to preparers who had never seen foreign income on a return, and were left to work out the rest themselves. After five years in tax and too many of those conversations, Zaif built a practice around the situation rather than the paperwork.
Expat filings first, flat fees agreed before the work, and plain answers to complicated questions.
08 / FAQs
Questions we hear most.
Tax outcomes depend on the details of your situation, so treat these as general orientation rather than advice on your specific facts.
