About

ExpatTaxBot is a purpose-built AI platform designed to eliminate the manual overhead CPAs face when preparing international and expat tax returns. Unlike generic tax software, ExpatTaxBot natively handles the full spectrum of global tax complexity — from US Form 1040s to Canadian T1s and UK SA100s — using intelligent document extraction optimized for each format. The platform automates foreign tax credit (FTC) calculations and applies treaty benefits with precision across jurisdictions, ensuring compliance without manual lookups. Its carryforward intelligence scans prior-year returns to automatically detect and apply carryforward amounts, saving hours of review time. FBAR preparation is fully automated with real-time FATCA validation to prevent costly filing errors. ExpatTaxBot also features smart multi-currency conversion using historical exchange rates, adaptive client intake questionnaires that can be branded per practice, and a four-step workflow that takes users from document upload to export-ready worksheets. Output formats include Excel, PDF, and CSV, with direct integration into ProSeries, Lacerte, and Drake. Claiming 99.9% accuracy and 80% time savings, the platform is targeted at forward-thinking CPA firms and international tax practices looking to scale their expat client base without proportionally scaling manual effort. Currently available via a waitlist for the 2026 tax season.
