Recent Changes to FBAR Filing Requirements

The IRS has recently made changes that have streamlined FBAR reporting procedures, especially for delinquent reports. It is now much easier to file amended and late IRS FBAR paperwork and to resolve penalties that have been placed on your account. I can help you determine your eligibility for this streamlined process. In general, this new FBAR submission format is open to you if:

• You certify that your failure to report income was not willful.
• You are not currently under civil or criminal examination by the IRS for any taxable year.
• You have paid any previous penalties related to foreign account reporting.
• You possess a valid taxpayer identification number (TIN).
