Wicklow US Expat Taxes | Best Service For Americans Abroad

US Taxes for Expats

Americans living abroad face a complex landscape of tax reporting obligations and rules imposed by the IRS and the US Treasury.

In 2015, Thomas Sneed CPA, CFA formed Wicklow Advisors Expats Tax Services to help US expats navigate through the maze of US Tax obligations in an accessible and personal way.

As an expat since 1993 himself, Thomas Sneed CPA, CFA understands from firsthand experience how intimidating and confusing US taxes for expats can be when living overseas. Thomas founded Wicklow to make the process simple for expats everywhere.

At Wicklow Advisors, we make the process of filing US taxes from overseas simple using a combination of a personalised approach and an easy tax questionnaire where you can provide your details online.
