Hello Carol - I just finished a lovely conversation with Bruno - thanks again for your recommendation. I'm now on the hunt for an accountant/tax preparer for our US taxes...did you settle on someone or a company? It would be wonderful to get a recommendation.

Happy New Year!

Hello Rhonda - Thanks for your comment. I'm happy to answer your question but it would be better if you contact me directly by email. You can find my contact information at the top header of my blog: https://www.ourportugaljourney.com. Click on "About" and scroll down to the bottom. You'll find my contact info there. - CW

There are a number of online companies that specialize in American expat taxation. I've not used them because I have a good, but expensive, accountant who specializes in American-Canadian cases. However, one firm that gets high Google review marks is www.1040abroad.com (I recommended them to my daughter). Incidentally, I've recently started an expat-investment-tax Substack newsletter (expatlessons.substack.com), which is how I found you. Your site is excellent and I'm trying to figure out how you got a Table of Contents, which is not an obvious option on Substack. Warren

Hello Warren - thanks for your comment. I'll be sure to check out your newsletter. As far as a table of contents, I can help you with that. If you'd like to send me an email (you can do that from the About tab on the top of my website), I'll be happy to provide instructions. - CW
