What America does not know is the Internal Revenue System (I.R.S.) now has all of the tools necessary to find an American’s assets and sources of income.
Two pieces of Tax Legislation have been phased in over the last few years. Those two pieces of legislation, together with existing law, now make sure that every United States taxpayer’s assets and source of income, both foreign and domestic, will be included in an information return or a tax return that must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service of the United States.
These two new laws require U.S. Taxpayers to report all of their interest in foreign assets and shortly will require every foreign financial institution and many foreign non financial entities to report all payments to U.S. Taxpayers or the foreign institution will have to pay that tax.
The IRS will be looking for offshore unreported income. Several thousand new agents have just been approved. The penalties, fines and taxes that can result from unreported foreign income could be life ruining.
The I.R.S. has provided an open ended Amnesty Program for unreported income and unreported foreign accounts.
The Amnesty Program must be handled by professionals who know what they are doing. There are legal safeguards and different levels of payments and taxes. There is a one time payment on unreported bank deposits that can be assessed at penalties ranging from 0% to 27.5% of the deposit. This program can be terminated at any time by the Internal Revenue Service.
This informative 1-hour seminar includes important topics of discussion such as:
Latest development with tax treaties for FFI Reporting purposes, the cost of the Amnesty, required information, penalties, payment, proper documents, specified foreign financial asset, the minimum reporting requirements, helpful definitions, other financial assets, exclusions for assets not subject to reporting, valuation guidelines and more.
