The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) took effect in 2014 and has literally swept the globe. FATCA requires foreign banks to disclose the identity and details of Americans with foreign accounts over $50,000 and report the information back to the U.S. government. Non-compliant institutions could have their U.S. assets frozen or face a huge penalties.
Currently, the IRS offers various options for U.S. taxpayers with undisclosed foreign financial assets to come current with their US tax filing obligations. The implementation of FATCA and the ongoing efforts of the IRS and the Department of Justice to ensure compliance by those with U.S. tax obligations have raised awareness of U.S. tax and information reporting obligations with respect to non-U.S.
The IRS is offering taxpayers with undisclosed income from offshore accounts another opportunity to get current with their tax returns with a potential penalty of up to 50% of the undisclosed bank account balance. However IRS offers clear benefits to encourage taxpayers to disclose foreign accounts now rather than risk detection by the IRS and possible criminal prosecution.
The IRS will not impose a penalty for the failure to file the delinquent FBARs if you properly reported on your U.S. tax returns, and paid all tax on, the income from the foreign financial accounts reported on the delinquent FBARs, and you have not previously been contacted regarding an income tax examination or a request for delinquent returns for the years for which the delinquent FBARs are submitted.

I am so glad to find this firm to help me with the new transition tax reporting and file the delinquent international tax forms. Vivian was knowledgeable of the US tax filing requirements for international corporations. She prepared comprehensive tax calculations to show me the tax results from using different filing positions and advised me the pros and cons under different methods. It was very helpful. I would definitely recommend to work with Vivian if you have international cross-border issues.

I have not gone through a complete process of having my paperwork completed by Bolden International Tax Services PC; however, I have had the pleasure of going through initial consultation with Ms. Hu and she was very patient, pleasant and knowledgeable. Should I require full services in the future I would definitely reconnect with Vivan.
