"I live in France and I needed some help with US Tax returns for 1997 and 1998.  I saw the advertisement for Globaltaxhelp.com in the International Herald Tribune. I contacted Don Walter by email and asked him if he could help me.  I had been paying taxes in 3 different countries over a period of 2 years and I was worried that I owed the IRS some back taxes.

Don spent time on the telephone and email with me and walked me through the process.  Each step of the way he documented by email what the next action was for each of us.  This acted as a reminder to me which was quite helpful.   Don is a clear and concise communicator and he carried out the work in a very professional manner.  If I needed to sign a hard copy of a document, it would arrive within a couple of days by FedEx. 

Finally, I am pleased to say that the tax rebate I received because of the 'Foreign Earned Income allowance' from the IRS covered Don Walter's charges quite easily."

"It is a great pleasure to recommend the services of Don Walter, CPA. He was literally a life-saver" for me in untangling several years of tax filings. My situation was more complex than usual, as I’d been overseas and the IRS had assessed tens of thousands of dollars in penalties and taxes. Mr. Walter’s work was fast, professional, and almost effortless on my part. His quick work and diligence not only saved me thousands of dollars, but I actually received tax refunds for overpayment for all of the years he filed for me.

I was introduced to Mr. Walter when I was still overseas in Asia, and we corresponded via email, telephone and regular mail through the entire process. Despite my initial concerns, the process worked incredibly smoothly. Mr. Walter is very "user-friendly" – he made the entire process seem so simple and matter of fact. He is a true professional – in his dealings with his clients and his expertise in his work.  It is a pleasure to recommend him to anyone seeking professional tax services."

"For several years, in my capacity as general partner of a large investment partnership (now liquidated), I retained Mr. Walter to handle all federal tax compliance and reporting matters for that partnership.  With multiple partners and with investments in many enterprises, these returns were quite complex and detailed.  My working relationship with Mr. Walter was quite positive over the six year life of the partnership and I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Walter for any tax engagement requiring thoroughness, depth of knowledge and attention to detail."

"I have had Mr. Donald Walter prepare my overseas United States IRS returns for the past two years while I have been working in Hong Kong.  I plan to do so again this year.   His work has been accurate and timely.  Communication has been no problem using either fax or e-mail.  Given the complexity of both US and Hong Kong taxes, it has been well worthwhile having Mr. Walter prepare my US returns."
