Questions

Global Gains Pro, answered

The Basics

Does Global Gains Pro replace my need to review cost basis manually?

No. It automates the currency conversion and calculation work, but you review and approve every result before it goes on a return — the audit trail is there so you can verify the math, not so you can skip it.

Which countries’ tax forms does it support?

We support more than just U.S. and Canadian tax forms with Global Gains Pro. Any country with an applicable currency can be supported, which gives it much wider use than the specific tax forms alone.

Can I import transactions directly from my client’s brokerage?

You can import an entire brokerage account from Excel.

Rules & Currency

How does it handle wash-sale or superficial-loss rules across countries?

You can set the applicable wash-sale or superficial-loss rules for the jurisdiction you’re filing in, so the calculation reflects the correct local rule rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

Do I need to convert the amounts into USD?

No — we do all the currency conversions for you, using exchange rates sourced directly from banks.

Account & Payment

How do I pay?

Payments can be made by credit card at tools.expattaxtools.com/invoices, by Zelle or e-transfer sent to info@expattaxtools.com, or by wire transfer (contact us for details).

I have concerns about protecting my personal information.

Everyone should be careful when providing personal information to an unknown person. We do not sell, trade, or rent users’ personal identification information to others.
