How Long Does It Take to Prepare a US Expat Tax Return?

The time required to prepare your US expat tax return depends on the complexity of your situation and when we receive your complete documentation. That said, our goal is to provide you with a draft return within 5–10 business days of receiving:

• Your completed Tax Companion questionnaire, and
• All supporting documents for the year(s) you’re filing

Faster Turnaround Is Possible

In many cases, returns are completed more quickly, especially outside of peak season. However, during busy periods, such as the weeks leading up to key IRS deadlines, processing times may extend slightly.

If you’re working with a tight deadline, please let us know. We’ll do our best to prioritize your return and ensure it’s completed on time.

Pro Tip:

The sooner you upload your documents, the sooner your accountant can get started—so don’t wait to submit your files and questionnaire.
