Honestly I'm never going to an accountant again. This is honestly so much easier to keep track of my expenses. The app is user friendly and totally worth it.

I used to hire an accountant to do my tax returns, but after I started my own business, the accountant thought it was too complicated, raised the fees significantly, and was unwilling to continue doing it. After I used Keeper, everything became much simpler. It's so convenient!

Questions before joining?

Who needs to file an FBAR?
Plus IconMinus Icon

If you've had $10,000 or more in a foreign bank account at any time during the calendar year, you need to file and FBAR with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). This only applies if you're a U.S. person, meaning resident, citizen, or business entity.

What date do expats need to file their taxes by?
Plus IconMinus Icon

Expats get an automatic two-month extension to file their tax return (until June 15), but any taxes owed are still due by April 15 to avoid interest charges. You can also request an additional extension until October 15 if needed.

What tax credits will Keeper help me claim?
Plus IconMinus Icon

Depending on your residency or length of stay, you may qualify for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion which could deduct up to $126,500 (in 2023). If you qualify for FEIE, you may also be able to deduct certain housing expenses such as rent, utilities, and other costs.  If you pay taxes to a foreign country, you might be able to claim a credit or deduction for those taxes on your U.S. return.

These are just a few of the deductions Keeper will help you claim to make sure you pay the leas taxes possible.
