I have an appointment with one in a few weeks, hoping they're better than the one I currently have http://www.westphalpartner.de/

Hi Les, while this doesn't answer your question directly we are having a workshop for US taxpayers next weekend: https://www.facebook.com/events/1813611702292600/

Hey Les, is this what you're looking for? http://bsaefiling.fincen.treas.gov/NoRegFBARFiler.html

You only need the FBAR if you have more than $10,000 in overseas accounts. Otherwise, just file regular tax forms, and exclude everything as foreign income, owe 0. You can file a 4868 by April 15 to extend the filing time from June 15 (automatic 2-month extension for overseas residents) to October 15. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4868.pdf

Patrick Bateman could prob help.

Jesus Bernstein is pretty good.

My one's good Mike, speaks English too http://www.stefanieweiss.com not sure about saw skills

http://www.lanza-remuss.de/ ...also be speaking English.

If you're looking for a bit of a paint by numbers taxman - he can probably keep the crayons inside the lines now - then see if Tim Whelan is about. He's a good egg.. and taught Vincent Pfäfflin all he knows... about purple bells

Contact Franz-Josef Link at GTC Steuerberatung (also on FB). He knows his stuff and will go to bat for you. Reasonably priced too. I can highly recommend him.

Daniel Stein has been good to my friends and I. http://www.stein-partners.com/

I'm a certified public accountant based here in Berlin. https://www.facebook.com/amyvalenzuela.cpa?fref=ts

Also has anyone used wundertax? https://www.germantaxes.de

I use Michael Otto of Klier & Ott. He speaks good English, is pretty responsive via email (esp if you ping him a second time) and he'll go above and beyond too to explain deadlines, etc.

I can recommend Cornelia Barnbrook or Artevana, but they are not cheap - German tax advisors are generally not very cheap, unfortunately. If it is for US taxes you might try TM Mawn - he's just building up his American client base in Berlin. http://www.mawnlawconsulting.com/

Most German tax advisors charge the same fees, in keeping with German regulations (or their professional association, I am not sure). For tax returns, there is a sliding scale (with a minimum, though) based on income.

We've been very happy with Sonja Meinecke at Meinecke Helling "Lawyers specialized in tax law" Pestalozzistraße 87, 10625 Berlin tel 030 - 318010 - 07 fax - 08

Monique at American's Income Tax Service is fantastic. http://usataxberlin.com. She's quite booked and you might need to wait a few months until she has an open spot but in my experience it was quite worth it:)

I do my own US taxes and it's not that difficult if you are a full time employee here. You just need the regular 1040 plus the Foreign Earned Income form. Basically you report that you received income and paid taxes on them here in Germany and with the treaty between countries you will not need to pay them there. You also have an automatic 2 month extension as a citizen residing abroad. You need to include a letter stating that you are taking that extension. Also you need to provide a monthly breakdown of your income (when it was paid and what the exchange rate was at that date) in order to report it in dollars. Good luck! (Or of course call Andrea's person!)

David Eschenhagen, mail@eschenhagen.eu. He was raised bilingually but has lived here all his life and has his own tax advisory small firm. He is very approachable, yet professional and by all accounts reliable.

I really like Klier & Ott! Michael speaks great English, responds to emails quickly, and at least for a freelancer like me he's been really helpful. The first hour-long consultation is free too, so you can decide if he can help you with what you need. http://www.klier-ott.de/
