Taking The Right Steps In The Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program
In recent years, the U.S. government has begun investigating foreign banking institutions and prosecuting U.S. taxpayers who are not in compliance with our country’s tax laws.
Many people are not fully unaware of U.S. reporting requirements on foreign income, as well as the reporting of business operations and financial accounts located in a foreign country. If you have foreign investments or property, inherited money in a foreign country or share a bank account with relatives living overseas, you may have an international tax compliance issue.

A Shield Against Criminal Liability
Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), the federal government now has the power to obtain financial information about U.S. taxpayers from foreign banks. Because many of these banks are located abroad in what were once considered “tax haven” countries, many U.S. taxpayers have lost their anonymity and are at risk of facing steep fines and possible criminal tax evasion and tax fraud charges if discovered.
The IRS has created a voluntary disclosure Program that allows taxpayers to voluntarily disclose their overseas accounts and come into compliance with U.S. tax laws while escaping criminal charges.
