Ask HN: How do you handle your US taxes as an expat?

[tohmasch]

For Worldwide income tax payments, and form submission are you using a service?

Or do you do everything yourself?

I looked at H&R block and they want to charge 300-500 USD. Do other platforms out there exist?

That’s about the going rate for cheap expat tax prep.

US tax is insanely complex as an expat, and if you get it wrong - even unintentionally- the penalties are massive (look up FBAR).

This is why so many are expatriating.
