About MyExpatTaxes
Our vision MyExpatTaxes was built to fill the gap in the US Expat Tax market. The software is an accessible and smart solution to file US Expat Taxes in as little as 15 minutes, without the high price tag.
The MyExpatTaxes software was developed for instant eFiling, maximizing refunds for every expat, and ensuring 100% accuracy. Since 2018, we’re doing just that, in addition to proving that we can take on complex tax cases. Here at MyExpatTaxes, we believe that everyone should have access to the correct information, file affordably, and save time.
Our story We, the four founders, all met each other while working at the same huge multi-national IT company. Some of us had known each other for years, with Nathalie joining us after moving abroad from California to Austria. She introduced us to the pains of filing US taxes from abroad after having a particularly horrible experience with a US-based CPA.
That bad example, combined with the yearning of working directly with clients again and to solve a real problem lead to one late afternoon on October: We were hunched over a few large pieces of paper, drawing database models and the user-flow of what would soon become the very first version of MyExpatTaxes.
We launched in March 2018 and based on the overwhelmingly positive feedback, we all left our corporate jobs and launched what was then the best tax software for US expats – and we have improved it even more ever since.
