Whats the difference between filing my US tax return and getting my US tax refund?
We file your US tax return in order to organise your tax refund. A tax return is the annual submission of tax forms documenting your earnings, taxes paid, deductable expenses, appropriate international tax treaties for your personal circumstances and allowances that you send to the tax office for review. They review it according to the information submitted by your employer and the current laws that apply to your case. If you get a US tax refund, this means the tax office review found you had overpaid tax and were due some back. Our estimate of your refund is based on our prediction of what the tax office will decide when they review your tax return – providing they have the same information as us.
