Ohio IRS Voluntary Disclosure Initiative
Resolving Delinquencies in Foreign Investment Reporting
For those with delinquencies in foreign bank account or foreign entity reporting, the Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program provides a solution. Through this initiative, you have the ability to become current on foreign investment reporting and past due tax payments without the risk of criminal prosecution. As part of the program requirements, the government mandates that you pay all back taxes and interest, provide the previous eight years of income tax returns and pay a miscellaneous penalty fine.
While this program offers relief to a number of individuals, it is important to note that international reporting requirements are complex. Additionally, the IRS recently opened additional disclosure options (including the streamlined filing compliance procedure). These additional disclosure options are much more lenient and less punitive to taxpayers who negligently failed to make proper disclosures. Given all the complexities in the area, it is highly advisable to seek counsel from an experienced tax attorney before proceeding.
