This CLE/CPE course will provide counsel and tax advisers with the tools necessary to navigate the rules regarding FBAR and available programs and planning methods in reporting offshore assets and assisting clients with developing programs that provide workable solutions.

Description

The IRS has continually reaffirmed its commitment to cracking down on U.S. taxpayers failing to disclose reportable foreign assets. The IRS is intensifying audits for foreign disclosures, and tax advisers need to act quickly to take advantage of the benefits that may apply to their situations.

Tax counsel and advisers must prepare now to assist clients in utilizing any remaining available programs and development methods to ensure reporting compliance. Clients will benefit from substantially reduced or no penalties for failure to report offshore accounts. However, counsel must be aware of the risks in each available program, as the sanctions imposed on taxpayers who willfully fail to disclose are incredibly harsh.

Counsel must first evaluate whether the disclosure program will help a taxpayer avoid increased IRS penalties. If so, counsel must guide the client in meeting the particular requirements of the program. Further changes to the current landscape of offshore reporting may occur at any time, so tax counsel should make client taxpayers aware of the potential tax and penalty savings from disclosure.

Listen as our experienced panel reviews the benefits and burdens of the revised programs and provides best practices in determining whether the programs will benefit clients in the resolution of undisclosed offshore accounts.
