In 2018, our founder – a tax attorney then in corporate tax in a Big4 accounting office abroad – discovered through personal travels a high demand for U.S. tax support among U.S. expatriates and certain nonresident aliens. He began offering tax advice and return preparation assistance simply as a favor to friends, but work accelerated at such a pace that he left the big firm life to work independently. In 2021, he founded TaxTime International, formalizing and expanding his pet project into what our company is now.
Today, TaxTime International supports not only U.S. persons abroad and foreigners with U.S. tax concerns, but also small- and medium-sized businesses. Originally, our expansion stemmed from individual clients’ running their own international enterprises, but now we also assist businesses with no connection to any individual client and no international concerns whatsoever.
Upon contacting us, you are put in touch with a live professional who will answer your questions and guide you through the maze that is tax, from start to finish. Unlike other tax firms, we do not use automated messaging or AI, nor do we ever send a message from any address other than that belonging to its author. We do not engage in e-marketing campaigns or sell subscriptions. Call us old-fashioned, but you can expect to work with a human being.
Our client portal uses top security and we never share your information. Unlike other tax firms, we do not employ independent contractors or third party businesses for substantive tax work, such that only our employees - and only those assigned to you - have access to files you share. Except as regards our portal and e-signing, we do not store your data on the cloud or through any intermediary. Long-term storage is "cold."
From the latest Corporate Transparency Act court challenges to cryptocurrency wash sales to treating disregarded entities as regarded for information returns, we make it our business to keep up with the latest U.S. tax law changes. We anticipate changes in the law - and changes in your circumstances - when completing planning and advisory services.
We communicate via email, videoconference, and telephone, and use a client portal for secure uploads and downloads of sensitive information. Wherever you are, as long as you have internet access (an sometimes even if you don't), we can assist. Signatures and return filings are all accomplished online. We also watch out for time differences!
