Hi Hunters 👋 I'm Danilson, founder of Atamatax. I built this because every year my friends abroad — Americans living in Paris, London, Berlin — paid CPAs $1,500–$3,000 to file a return that mostly boils down to mechanical form-stamping. The catch is that no consumer tax software handles their situation. TurboTax explicitly tells you to find an accountant if you hold any foreign brokerage position. So they have nowhere to go. The technical reason is brutal but boring: any non-US-domiciled fund (a Vanguard UCITS bought in London, an iShares fund on Euronext) is a PFIC. The IRS wants a separate Form 8621 per fund, per year, with §1291 interest, MtM, or QEF math. Layer on FBAR (FinCEN 114), FATCA (Form 8938), Form 1116 for the foreign tax credit, and Form 8833 if you're taking a treaty position — and you've got a return no off-the-shelf tool will touch. Atamatax is the tool. You connect your brokerage (Plaid, or drop a CSV), we identify PFICs from the ISIN domicile, walk you through the elections per fund, load the right treaty workflow for your country (US–France 1994, US–UK 2001, US–Germany 1989, US–Canada 1980, US–Australia 1982), and output an IRS-ready PDF package with every form filled in. Flat pricing — $299 Simple · $499 PFIC · $799 Complex. Free draft first so you see your numbers before paying. No subscription, no per-form upsell. We're not a CPA firm — we're software, like TurboTax — so you stay in control of the figures. For situations the software can't handle (entities, trusts, exam representation), we route you to independent expat-tax CPAs at no kickback. The product is live at http://www.atamatax.com. Free draft, no signup needed to scan your portfolio. Happy to answer anything — PFIC mechanics, why TurboTax skips this, the tax-engine architecture, or why we chose flat pricing over per-hour. Thank you for the support 🙏 — Danilson
