Disclosure Links to providers on this page earn this site nothing. They go to the provider’s own site unmodified, with no tracking parameters. If that ever changes, this notice changes with it. Full disclosure.
Who this is for
The summary is editorial. The two lists beneath it are read from this product's verified attributes against the rest of its table, and change when a figure does.
The cheapest professionally prepared option published here, starting at $259 with the FBAR a separate $99. Both are 'starting at' prices that the page says may vary with your situation. H&R Block also sells a do-it-yourself expat package from $124 plus $49 per FBAR.
Who this suits
Nothing in this product's verified data distinguishes it from the rest of this table.
Who it doesn’t
No verified figure in this table counts against this product. We don't manufacture a drawback to balance the page.
The score, taken apart
Every criterion, its published weight, what it earned and what that contributed.
| Criterion | Weight | Score | PointsContribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Federal return with FBAR | 100% | 3.57 | 3.57 |
| Total | 100% | 3.6 |
Strong tier. Weights are published on the methodology page; a change to any of them is a rubric version bump, not a silent edit.
Every stored figure
One row per attribute, each with the source it was read from and the date it was read. Every row has its own anchor, so a single figure can be linked to directly — for example /expat-tax/hr-block-expat#federal-return-usd.
