Most Expats will receive a tax refund for 2021 according to user data from MyExpatTaxes.com. This year, for the first time, MyExpatTaxes is releasing the analyzed data from their user's 2021 US Expat Tax Returns. MyExpatTaxes is the leading online software platform for Americans living outside the United States to file their US Taxes.

VIENNA, Aug. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- This year, for the first time, MyExpatTaxes.com is releasing the analyzed data from their user's 2021 US Expat Tax Returns. MyExpatTaxes is the leading online software platform for Americans living outside the United States to file their US Taxes.

The analysis will help MyExpatTaxes gain insight into how US taxes affect Americans living outside the United States. To conduct the study, MyExpatTaxes used anonymized data from users who have already completed their tax returns for the 2021 tax year.

Most Expats will receive a tax refund for 2021, according to user data from MyExpatTaxes.com. US Expats living in Finland were most likely to receive a refund, with 71% of filers using MyExpatTaxes receiving a tax refund. Alternatively, Americans living in Singapore were most likely to owe US taxes.

The analysis includes user data of those who filed by the traditional tax filing deadline of April 18th, 2022, and users who filed before the automatically extended deadline for Americans abroad of June 15th, 2022. Users who requested an additional extension, giving them until October 15th, 2022, to file their 2021 US tax return from abroad, are omitted.
Included is data from over 4,500 expat tax returns.
