Self-serve federal tax filing for US expats — Form 8621 (PFIC), FBAR, FATCA, 1116, treaty disclosures for FR/UK/DE/CA/AU. $299–$799 flat. Free draft first.
Hi Hunters 👋
I'm Danilson, founder of Atamatax.
I built this because every year my friends abroad — Americans living in
Paris, London, Berlin — paid CPAs $1,500–$3,000 to file a return that mostly
boils down to mechanical form-stamping. The catch is that no consumer tax
software handles their situation. TurboTax explicitly tells you to find an
accountant if you hold any foreign brokerage position. So they have nowhere
to go.
The technical reason is brutal but boring: any non-US-domiciled fund (a
Vanguard UCITS bought in London, an iShares fund on Euronext) is a PFIC. The
IRS wants a separate Form 8621 per fund, per year, with §1291 interest, MtM,
or QEF math. Layer on FBAR (FinCEN 114), FATCA (Form 8938), Form 1116 for the
foreign tax credit, and Form 8833 if you're taking a treaty position — and
you've got a return no off-the-shelf tool will touch.
Atamatax is the tool. You connect your brokerage (Plaid, or drop a CSV), we
identify PFICs from the ISIN domicile, walk you through the elections per
fund, load the right treaty workflow for your country (US–France 1994, US–UK
2001, US–Germany 1989, US–Canada 1980, US–Australia 1982), and output an
IRS-ready PDF package with every form filled in.
Flat pricing — $299 Simple · $499 PFIC · $799 Complex. Free draft first so
you see your numbers before paying. No subscription, no per-form upsell.
We're not a CPA firm — we're software, like TurboTax — so you stay in control
of the figures. For situations the software can't handle (entities, trusts,
exam representation), we route you to independent expat-tax CPAs at no
kickback.
The product is live at http://www.atamatax.com. Free draft, no signup needed
to scan your portfolio.
Happy to answer anything — PFIC mechanics, why TurboTax skips this, the
tax-engine architecture, or why we chose flat pricing over per-hour. Thank
you for the support 🙏
