Do you need to file a tax return for the IRS?
Under the new health care plan IRS is coming. The current tax appropriations under the new law is about to let the IRS loose.
Among the various new requirements of the IRS that are contained in IRC 877 and 877A, individuals that renounced their U.S. citizenship or terminated their long-term resident status for tax purposes after June 3, 2004 are required to certify to the IRS that they have satisfied all federal tax requirements for the 5 years prior to expatriation.
If all your federal tax requirements have not been satisfied for the 5 years prior to expatriation, even if the individual does not meet the monetary thresholds in IRC 877 or 877A, the individual taxpayer will be subject to the IRC 877 and 877A expatriation tax provisions.
Individual(s) that have expatriated should file all tax returns that are due, regardless of whether or not full payment can be made with the return.
Depending on an individual’s circumstances, a taxpayer filing late may qualify for a payment plan.
All payment plans to the IRS require continued compliance with all filing and payment responsibilities after the plan is approved and throughout the course of the plan.
IRS imposes a $10,000 penalty may be imposed for failure to file Form 8854 when required.
IRS is sending notices to expatriates that have not complied with the Form 8854 requirements, including the imposition of the $10,000 penalty where appropriate.
IRS is acquiring lists through tax treaties with and through various countries.
Failure to file or not including all the information required by the form or including incorrect information will result in large penalties.
FBAR REQUIREMENTS
If you have a financial interest in or signature authority over a foreign financial account, including a bank account, brokerage account, mutual fund, trust, or other type of foreign financial account, the Bank Secrecy Act may require you to report the account yearly to the Internal Revenue Service by filing Form TD F 90-22.1, Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR).
The FBAR is required because foreign financial institutions may not be subject to the same reporting requirements as domestic financial institutions. You should call us if you have questions.
Federal Tax Investigators with the IRS use FBARs to help identify or trace funds used for illicit purposes or to identify unreported income maintained or generated abroad.
