Course Description

When a U.S. taxpayer fails to file the FBAR or another informational report, the consequences can be severe, depending in part on the taxpayer’s intent. For example, if the IRS makes a finding of willfulness, the civil penalties can be half of the unreported assets. In this webinar, we will review the different standards of willfulness and nonwillfulness, and we will discuss recent cases involving U.S. taxpayers who failed to disclose their foreign assets. Then we will consider the new voluntary disclosure procedures from the IRS and discuss the process and consequences of disclosure.
