Taxes for Americans Living Abroad

Could not recommend more strongly! I’m an American living overseas the last 10 years. I didn’t file taxes the first 6 because I was unemployed and then didn’t think it was necessary with the small income I started earning 4 years ago. My earnings have grown, plus I am working locally now, and my husband suggested I get things up-to-date with the IRS. Universal Tax Professionals streamlined the process for me. They made easy to organize the documents needed to get caught up with my taxes and helped me claimed stimulus payments I had no idea existed. If you are an American living abroad needed the tax services of highly skilled professionals, I highly recommend this firm. I will be working with them for all of my tax needs on an annual basis for the foreseeable future. Thank you Javier and team!

Great service. Travis Hicks was super helpful and patient explaining the tax systems and processes.

A great experience all around, with sound advice and quick turnaround on tax preparation. Will definitely use Universal Tax Professionals in the future!

Been using universal tax professionals now for the last 2 years. I was living overseas as an US Citizen and they got me all caught up with my taxes. Absolutely would recommend!! Jocelyn made this process extremely easy for me and I am really glad I found this company.

As a dual citizen, I had no idea where to start when it came to aligning with U.S. tax requirements — I'm so glad we found Universal Tax Professionals. Javier and his team have been absolutely incredible at answering all our questions, guiding us through the process, and filing everything to ensure we’re in full compliance with the IRS. They even went back through several previous years — both for my personal filings and my business — to make sure everything was up to date. What could have been a stressful, confusing process turned into genuine peace of mind. They cleared every doubt, worked efficiently and on time, and made everything so much easier than we ever expected. This is definitely the beginning of a long-term relationship — we couldn’t recommend them enough!

I've used tried quite a few UK-US tax prep agencies and Universal is the best one by far. Alex is very patient and helpful, definitely recommend!

Universal Tax and Pam Goy come highly recommended in every aspect. They are trustworthy, honor their promised fees, and make the entire process a pleasure. Thanks to their expertise, they successfully resolved our complex tax issue.

I recently worked with Sofia: she was extremely helpful and I am very satisfied with this company!

Excellent professional advice and service, excellent communication. Took the stress out of dealing with my overseas taxes.

Sofia Mosca handled our e-filing and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. She was professional, efficient, and quick to get everything done. I’d definitely recommend her services to a friend!

I had an incredible what almost felt like lifesaving experience with Universal Tax Professionals. I have always been the person to do my own taxes, even as an expat. To my knowledge there were no issues with how I was doing them until I got a letter in the mail stating I owed the IRS over 3,000 USD. I reached out to Universal Tax Professionals and my inquiry was responded to within 4 hours of sending it. I had the pleasure of conversating with Josh and he was not only prompt in responding but also giving guidance on how to proceed from what, for me, was a very scary and intimidating situation. I was very pleased with the service level from the start and felt Universal Tax Professionals was the company to help me fix this! From there the amazing service continued as I had the pleasure of working with Sofia as she was the one who prepared and filed my amended return. I cannot express enough how her attentiveness, promptness, and calming demeanor made this scary situation feel not so scary. In relaxed terms, I felt very safe and confident Sofia took this as seriously as I did every step of the way and this type of feeling when dealing with such important things is priceless. If you have not yet given Universal Tax Professionals a try, I really hope you do so. The customer service of this company is unmatched, and especially in today's world when it feels like the service mindset has been lost, this is priceless. So thank you once again and I look forward to working with you in the future!

What a great company! I had a coworker connect me to Josh Katz at Universal Tax Professionals. Josh was very professional and clear with what they could or could not do. I worked with Yhail Moreno to review past tax filings and, through her great work, we identified a serious error on previous filings. They saved me so much time and money. They are easy to work with and are clearly experts in the area of ex-pat taxes. I would highly recommend them!

This is my 4th year using Universal Tax Professionals. Always quick, efficient, and friendly service. For those looking for help navigating the complicated taxes of a US expat, these people know their stuff.

Sofia was quick and communicative in sorting my FBARs

So grateful for this firm. Living oversees, I had considerable anxiety & limited knowledge about how to do my expat taxes. This is a business that carries a spirit of excellence and high level of professionalism. For the past few years, my taxes have been done with ease on my end because I know my financial matters are in good hands. Thank you, Pam, for your kind and personable nature and for your timely communication and diligent preparation year after year. It's always a pleasure when tax season rolls around. Highly recommend UTP.

Universal tax professionals- very thorough and knowledgeable. If you live abroad, I highly recommend them.

My wife and I recently retired from the US to Ireland. One of my biggest concerns was dealing with income tax implications between the two countries. I had done a bit of research myself and it seemed fairly complicated. I found Universal Tax Professionals through a recommendation from an Irish firm, Expat Taxes. I had gotten to them from a Facebook expat site. Both firms did a great job and coordinated well. Yhail and Josh were great to work with and always got back to me quickly when I had any questions. I highly recommend their firm. Their work was excellent.

This was my first year using Universal Tax Professionals, and it was, by far, my easiest and most pleasant 1040 filing ever, in spite of the newly-added complexity of my living abroad. Everybody at the firm was fantastic to work with. They gave me timely updates and good advice at every stage, and I never had to worry about the process.

We always use Universal Tax Professionals to file our US taxes. We live in one country and work in another, and they know exactly what to do. They are always very thorough and have a super fast turnaround. Thank you!

Universal Tax Professionals are exactly what their name implies. Professionals!! My experience with them was absolutely phenomenal, they were able to provide excellent service at a time when I Truly was in need of just that. I would highly recommend their services to all Americans living abroad!! Sofia & Josh you are the Best!!
