We have filed our taxes with Universal for over 5 years now. We have a complicated situation, being US Citizens working in one country but living in another. Universal always answers our questions thoroughly and our taxes are filed very quickly. Thank you!

I contacted Asher and the team from Universal Tax Professionals with very short notice ahead of the 15 April deadline. He handled my internationally based Tax Return, plus back returns, very efficiently and quickly and ensured a solid refund. Friends recommended me to Universal Tax Professionals and I would not hesitate to do the same to any US Citizen living and working internationally.

My tax return was prepared and filed promptly and professionally. Their knowledge of "Tax Treaty" provisions as they apply to my streams of income have stopped those annoying letters from IRS. Alex you are a star!

I was truly amazed how efficiently they handled my tax filing which had Overseas rental property. Overseas bank Accounts. Pension payments out of Australia , W2 , Social Security, Roth withdrawals etc Ms Moreno did all that without having a need to talk to me . This is my first filing and needless to say I am more than impressed. Wobee from South Jordan . Utah

Yhail and Josh helped me submit my Streamlined overseas taxes in time for the April deadline, when many other tax professionals had turned me down as a self-employed UK citizen. They were extremely personable and responsive to my many questions. I have recommended them to all my fellow US citizens residing in the UK as they were superb!! :)

First time using the tax services of Universal Tax Professionals. I was very impressed with the professionalism I experienced with the folks there. My US Tax return was completed in a short time and my inquiries were always answered the same day I sent them. Their costs are very reasonable. Overall, a very positive experience. I will definitely use their services again!

I used Universal Tax Professionals for the first time this year, as I had a particular issue (as a British expat) with which I needed expert help. My initial call with Yhail assured me that I had come to the right place! After that, the process was very smooth. Their fee seemed very reasonable, especially when measured against the considerable savings their expertise brought me! Highly recommended.

Excellent support from real people - Not a DIY online experience
Universal Tax Professionals gave me simple, straightforward advice that even I could understand. We got to work quickly, and were able to work through the process, addressing all my questions in real time. Practical, simple, and excellent support.
Highly recommended.
