Since 2011, the IRS has really stepped up their enforcement activities for Expatriates Tax.

The high end targets of IRS for Expat Tax activity will be in the area of non filers and accounts that owe over $1500 per year in tax. The IRS is setting up specialized Revenue Agent Groups  or task forces to handle this world wide activity and global tax problem of not filing, not paying.

Taxpayers usually fall in two categories with the IRS. Those who did not know about filing requirements ( innocent ) and those that willfully neglected filing.

We can help both. At some point, the IRS will be tracking down everyone. IRS has just started these processes. Over 33,000 non filers have come forward so far and the IRS knows there is a goldmine of revenue to collected in Expat taxes.
