Rectifying Non – Compliance with respect to the FBAR and/or Unreported Income from Non-U.S. (i.e., foreign) Bank and Financial Accounts
Overview:
Since 2009, the IRS has had a strong focus on compliance with the Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (TD F 90-22.1), or “FBAR”, and unreported income from foreign (i.e., non-U.S.) bank and financial accounts. The IRS is now on its third iteration of the an offshore voluntary disclosure program and, in September of 2012, the IRS also opened a program for nonresident non-filers. In addition, the IRS has a procedure in place for those individuals who reported all of the income from their foreign accounts but simply failed to file the FBAR and other foreign-related information forms (i.e., Forms 3520 and 5471).
The IRS has rigidly applied the eligibility requirements for its OVDP and Streamlined Program. Many situations do not fit neatly within one program or the other so it can be difficult for attorneys/accountants to advise clients with respect to their options and the potential risks/benefits of each option. The webcast will provide more details on the various options available and insight from experience regarding the IRS’s processing of cases under the various options.
