Highly recommend if you live abroad and need help filing expat taxes. I worked with Carlos to file my return and he made the process easy to understand plus answered my (many!) questions. I don't enjoy doing taxes, but someone else getting it right while making it easy for me is worth every penny.

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 highly recommend this company. Asher here has done my taxes for over 10 years. He is amazing. I am living in the UK and he has done a brilliant job for many years - make sense of craziness. Reasonable pricing for what it is - ugh!!! Thank you, Asher!

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

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!

This was my first year using Universal Tax Professionals, and it was, by far, my easiest and most pleasant 1040 filing ever, in spite of the newly-added complexity of my living abroad. Everybody at the firm was fantastic to work with. They gave me timely updates and good advice at every stage, and I never had to worry about the process.

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.
