Hello everyone,

I'm done with turbo tax, they really messed up my 2024 taxes. May I please know what you all do for your taxes. Yes I'm from the U.S.A.
Answer summary
The discussion centers around various tax preparation methods used by expats in Thailand, particularly focusing on US tax filing. Many participants express satisfaction with software like TurboTax, H&R Block, and FreeTaxUSA, while others recommend hiring a CPA for more complex situations. Some specific tax service providers, such as American International Tax Advisors, are also mentioned as proficient in handling US taxes within the context of the Thai/US tax treaty.
