Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures
Past-due returns incur two types of penalties: failure to file and failure to pay. It is important to act as early as possible to begin settling any dues to the IRS. If you have unfiled US tax returns, you may be eligible to file those delinquent tax returns under the Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures and you will not be subject to failure-to-file and failure-to-pay penalties. The U.S. taxpayer can avail streamlined filing compliance procedures by certifying that they did not willfully fail to report their foreign assets and fail to pay all taxes due in respect of those assets.
If you are concerned that you fail to report income, fail to submit required information returns, and fail to pay taxes, that was due to willful conduct and you, therefore, want to seek assurance that you will not be subject to substantial monetary penalties and/or criminal liability, you should consider participating in the IRS Criminal Investigation Voluntary Disclosure Practice and should consult with us.
