Compass Tax Educators

Taxpayers who are non-compliant with reporting their foreign income and/or assets have programs available to come forward and disclose their non-compliance with a reduced penalty structure and limited look-back period. The programs are compared and contrasted along with a discussion as to how best properly construct a disclosure package. Cases studies are used to bring a real-life perspective to these programs and the taxpayers using them.

Learning Objectives

• Demonstrate proper interview techniques to determine the extent of taxpayer non-compliance.
• Understand the Delinquent FBAR and International Information Return Submission Procedures and when a taxpayer can use them.
• Understand the Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures and when a taxpayer can use them.
• Describe the concept of “willfulness” in international tax non-compliance and its implications.
• Demonstrate the ability to correctly construct a disclosure package, including the reasonable cause statement or Streamlined narrative.
• Understand the other compliance programs and guidance the IRS has put forward for specialized issues.
