Taxes for Expats

Ines Zemelman, an Enrolled Agent with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and an MBA in Taxation, founded Taxes for Expats (TFX) in the early 2000s. Recognizing a growing need for reliable, personalized US tax assistance for Americans living abroad - a group often overlooked by traditional firms - she built TFX around three core principles: expertise, personalized service, and accuracy.

From the beginning, TFX distinguished itself by focusing on what matters most to expats: peace of mind, expert guidance, and a hassle-free filing experience. Instead of relying on junior staff, bots, or outsourcing, TFX built a team of 80+ seasoned tax professionals, including CPAs, EAs, and tax attorneys. Every client is assigned a dedicated CPA from day one, and every return goes through a structured double-review process before submission - guaranteeing 100% accuracy and complete peace of mind.

As word spread, TFX quickly became a trusted name in the expat community. The firm grew to serve 50,000+ clients across 190+ countries, helping Americans navigate the complexities of the US tax system no matter where life took them - whether in the UK, Germany, Australia, Switzerland, Japan, or beyond.

Over time, many expat clients returned to the United States, but their loyalty to TFX didn't fade. They continued to rely on the firm for their domestic and international tax needs, leading TFX to expand its services. Today, TFX works with a wide range of clients, including individuals and entities in the US and abroad.
