Bright!Tax Avis 701

This is my 3rd year working with Bright!Tax. Even though I'm back working in the US and didn't need Expat tax service, they helped me with my 1040 filing, and I'm satisfied. I would definitely work with them again.100!

We've been going to Bright!Tax for several years. They are always very helpful and reliable.

Bright!Tax did a wonderful job on my taxes. Instructions were clear from the beginning to the end. My Bright!Tax contact always quickly responded to my questions and made the process painless.

I have been filing my taxes with Bright!Tax for 2 years and I am very satisfied of the service received. Their efficiency and professionalism are stunning. I would like to thank in particular Dafna for her support and availability!

Bright tax Is fantastic! Customized service for busy expats. Highly recommend.

Great service and knowledgeable staff. They understand the challenges of living abroad and filing US taxes and are able to provide excellent guidance. Their online portal is very easy to use and inspires confidence.

Very thorough, especially for something as complicated as taxes. Responded fairly promptly to my question and the answers were very good and detailed.

I've been using them for years, previously always excellent service. When I signed up in advance last year, everything was normal. I checked that my info was still accurate in their organizer. No issues. Ready to go, so I paid my deposit.

I decided to start on that 2025 organizer today. They've instituted a new "system" since I paid. Deleted. Everything is deleted. My company info is gone. My extensive FBAR info gone (dozens of account numbers, bank details and balances). Years of returns gone. Even my last name was reverted to my maiden name. It's a brand new account with nothing on it, and my company has disappeared entirely.

The new questionnaire is completely generic and clearly intended for AI processing. It asks a multitude of questions intended for the general population, while having no insight on your existing situation or your previous filings. It seems to mix business questions with personal questions, all in one big generic mess, and it's hard to tell whether I'm supposed to answer for business or personal.

Simultaneously, it omits any particular tax needs, such as an FBAR. It's exactly what any random AI would ask from somebody on a 6 month vacation. Not a 15 year expat who's already been with Bright tax for years. They didn't bother to transfer a single detail from my original account, everything is just blank while the AI wants to know about my 'long vacation'.

Avoid. You can get generic AI slop taxes that omit any personalization for free. And mass deletion with no warning is a pretty nasty thing to do after a client has already paid their deposit.

I would NOT have agreed to $1350 if I had known that the plan was just to delete my account and replace my personalized service with a generic AI form that omits the most important parts of my filing and doesn't even remember my name from last year.

Team of helpful professionals. Timely responses to my questions.

I’m extremely satisfied with Bright!Tax. They’ve been consistently helpful and always take the time to explain things clearly. It makes a huge difference, especially in my case, as I’m a complete disaster when it comes to tax returns.

We're grateful for the services provided by Micaela Peña and earlier this year, Mery Cusi. The process was smooth and simple. Micaela is super-responsive and her answers clarified our understanding when we were confused or looking for additional information. I appreciate the option to book a timeslot to work on our return, and the reminder that the booking was coming up. Next year we will have to do a foreign tax payment, so we'll be booking further in the year, after we've received our 2026 foreign return. Knowing the process will help! It's a relief to be complete so early this year and that's largely due to Micaela and Bright!Tax.

I like the new format of the client organizer, but also that I was able to access last year’s so I could copy/paste like information. The new format is more intuitive and easier to use.

Provides the strategic precision required for different financial profiles, including dual citizenship and diverse investments. Their team demonstrates exceptional technical expertise, ensuring full compliance while optimizing my tax position with ease. Highly organized and proactive, they stand out through meticulous attention to detail and tailored advice that adds genuine value. For anyone seeking peace of mind and high-level proficiency, they are the ideal tax partner.

Bright!Tax is easy to work with, professional, friendly and experienced. The system they have to provide your tax information is user friendly, and the level of communication was great.

FANTASTIC! They make my tax stress go away. There is a main person I work with but there is also a team of experts each of whom can address specific issues and concerns, if needed. The people I have worked with respond quickly and provide really in-depth answers to my questions. The person I most often work with is always polite and pleasant. He gives off a vibe of joy--joy in his work and that he enjoys helping his clients. Too bad I am limited to only 5 stars!!!!!!!!!!

Very easy and efficient to work with Bright!Tax. I would not hesitate to use them again. I had one unique aspect to my project that they were able to address with no issue.

I highly recommend Bright!Tax for your expat tax return. Their tax preparation portal and tax questionnaire make it easy to complete what they require and their tax preparers and support personnel are very competent.

Very professional team, they always go beyond their duties and their work is always on time. Great experience!

I’ve been working with Bright!Tax for a few years now, this year they got a new organizing system that was great! Auto saves! Such a helpful tool. The person I worked with was also great and responsive.

Great service. It was my third year. Zola was great, fast professional responses. A new client quessionaire was easier than before.

Excellent Client Support
I love how Bright!Tax assigns a Client Success Manager (Mery) that walked us through the whole tax remitting process in such a helpful and friendly way!
Any time I emailed her with a question, I received clear answers and thoughtful explanations within a day! No question was too big or too insignificant. The excellent Client Care made all the difference in contributing to a very positive Tax Season experience.
Thank you so much!
