TL;DR — Key Takeaways
- →MyExpatTaxes guides you through a US expat return.
- →Domicyle does not e-file and does not replace that software.
- →Domicyle is for the months before filing: country choice, day counts, and the exclusion-versus-credit question.
- →The day log you keep all year is an input to the return, not the return.
Short answer
MyExpatTaxes is guided filing software for US expats. Domicyle is the planning and day-tracking workspace you use before that filing.
Split
| Question | MyExpatTaxes | Domicyle |
|---|---|---|
| Prepare my US return? | Yes, that is the product | No |
| Compare take-home in several countries on my salary? | No | Calculator |
| Running 183-day and Schengen log? | No | Residency Tracker |
| Exclusion vs credit before I commit? | Inside the filing flow | FEIE vs FTC optimizer, planning only |
Use both if you are a US person abroad: Domicyle for the year, filing software or a CPA for the forms.
Educational planning only — not tax advice.
