IRS International Tax Controversy & Compliance
Taxpayers and tax professionals alike are often surprised by the myriad of IRS international information return requirements. While many of these requirements have been around for decades, the IRS has placed special focus on this area of compliance in the last 15 years.
Matters involving foreign financial accounts and assets must be handled with special care since potential penalties often significantly outweigh the associated income tax consequences. There are several potential solutions which depend on specifics of each case including the nature of the non-compliance, type of information returns involved and whether the IRS has engaged with the taxpayer. Since certain options are only available before the IRS contacts you, please contact a qualified attorney as soon as possible if you have questions or believe you may be out of compliance.
