How It Works in Practice
Every tier includes a free consultation, a secure document portal for uploading your tax documents, IRS-authorized e-filing, and year-round support if the IRS has questions about your return. Your Enrolled Agent reviews your situation, prepares the return, and signs it under their PTIN.
Use a free introductory tax consultation to describe your filing needs and ask which forms, services and fees would apply before choosing a plan.
Example: US Expat in Germany Earning $95,000
Premium tier ($799) covers the 1040, Form 2555 (Foreign Earned Income Exclusion), Form 1116 (Foreign Tax Credit), and FinCEN 114 (FBAR) for two German bank accounts. Living in Germany and earning $95,000 does not by itself establish eligibility for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion. Eligibility requires foreign earned income, a foreign tax home, and a qualifying residence or physical-presence test. Confirm eligibility and the applicable exclusion before estimating tax.

If the same filer also held a German mutual fund classified as a PFIC, the return moves to the Complex tier ($1,099+) to cover Form 8621 reporting.
