Tax Samaritan’s Proven Results
Randall prepared my overseas taxes, and helped me to file my FBARs. He was honest, reliable, and very professional. There were many complex issues to sort out, with local tax codes and documents in another language. He did a great job of interpreting this information and asking the right questions, which saved time on my end, as well.

Tax Samaritan keeps abreast with the ever changing laws relating to income tax filing for US citizens living outside the USA. In my experience, they are thorough, process oriented, communicate well and are above all very professional in their delivery of tax filing service. They make US income tax filing easy.
