Event Synopsis:
The increasing number of US taxpayers holding foreign accounts over the past years has urged the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to create programs that will monitor foreign accounts and assets and reduce unreported ones. The IRS Disclosure Programs have been helpful in rectifying foreign reporting negligence made by some US taxpayers.
Since taxpayers are faced with large number of fines if found guilty of willful non-disclosure, it is important to know whether one is compliant with these programs.
In this LIVE webcast, a panel of thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group will discuss the significant and latest issues surrounding IRS Disclosure Programs. They will provide an in-depth discussion of Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program (OVDP), Streamlined Disclosure Programs (SDP) and the role of willfulness in disclosing foreign accounts and asset. Speakers will also offer best practices in developing and implementing an effective guide to be compliant with the said programs.
Key issues that will be covered in this course are:
• Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) – Overview
• IRS Disclosure Programs
o Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program
o Streamlined Disclosure Programs
• What is Willfulness?
• Recent Cases Involving Willfulness
• Compliance Guides
