This session will cover the IRS’s enforcement efforts in the area of unreported foreign assets and the consequences for those taxpayers who maintain unreported foreign accounts. We will also cover the different pathways to compliance for a taxpayer that has previously not complied with his or her foreign asset reporting obligations, such as the IRS’s Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program. Finally, this session will discuss the key issue of whether a taxpayer’s noncompliance was willful or merely negligent and why that matters.
