With Switzerland being the hub for FBAR, it is one of the main targets for the Internal Revenue Service.
Since the UBS blowout on the exposing of Foreign Bank accounts both the Department of Justice and the IRS have had a field day.
With the threat of criminal and civil penalties over 33,000 persons have come forward and the IRS have collected over $5.5 Billion.
IRS is in committee and they are developing new software in there CADE 2 system to hook up with other countries to find tax cheats.
Next year you can expect much pres and print coming from the IRS as they are letting loose hundreds of new agents to work FBAR non reporting and criminal issues.
Remember find IRS before they find you. A tax fine and paying tax is far better than prosecution.
Just for the record.
An FBAR is a Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts. The form number is TD F 90-22.1 (PDF).
Any United States person who has a financial interest in or signature authority or other authority over any financial account in a foreign country, if the aggregate value of these accounts exceeds $10,000 at any time during the calendar year.
How a foreign country is defined. A “foreign country” includes all geographical areas outside the United States, the commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the territories and possessions of the United States (including Guam, American Samoa, and the United States Virgin Islands).
News as a result of a non FBAR filing Switzerland Bank UBS AG
A South Florida man has been sentenced to four months in federal prison after pleading guilty to failing to report accounts ( FBAR ) at Swiss Bank UBS AG.
Miami judge imposed the sentence on 62-year-old Luis Quintero of Miami Beach, Florida
Luis Quintero also must pay a $2 million Civil Penalty and was fined by the courts for an additional $20,000.
A review of the Court Documents finds Luis Quintero formed companies in the British Virgin Islands and Panama that were used to open the Switzerland UBS accounts.
The Switz bank accounts had more than $4 million big ones in them.
The prosecution is one of many in the U.S. following an agreement in which UBS Switzerland turned over identities of some of its U.S. customers.

You need to pull the trigger and take care of these matters before any IRS contact.
The IRS began an open-ended offshore voluntary disclosure program (OVDP) in January 2012 on the heels of strong interest in the 2011 and 2009 programs.
The IRS is offering people with undisclosed income from offshore accounts another opportunity to get current with their tax returns. The 2012 OVDP has a higher penalty rate than the previous program but offers clear benefits to encourage taxpayers to disclose foreign accounts now rather than risk detection by the IRS and possible criminal prosecution.
If you file your FBAR form before IRS contacts you, will have no worries. IRS wants voluntary disclosure.
Amending a Filed FBAR
The following instructions may be given to anyone who needs to file an amended FBAR. To amend a previously filed FBAR:
Write “Amended” at the top of a new form. I recommend writing it in read to draw attention to the reviewer. Make sure the writing is not blending in to the form. Make it clear and obvious.
Add/correct the information about the account.
Staple it to a copy of the original form.
Mail the amended FBAR to the filing address shown on the form
Department of the Treasury
Post Office Box 32621, Detroit, MI 48232-0621.
Need FBAR Filing Verification
Filed FBARs are entered onto the Detroit Computing Center’s Currency and Banking Retrieval System (CBRS) database.
Filing can be checked by IRS personnel with CBRS passwords.
Filers can request verification of the FBARs that they filed 60 days after the date of filing. A request for verification of FBAR filing must be made in writing and should include the filer’s name, Taxpayer Identification Number, and filing period.
There is a $5.00 fee for verifying five or fewer forms and a $1.00 fee for each additional form. If copies are needed, the additional fee is $0.15 per copy.
Checks or money orders should be made payable to the United States Treasury. The payment should be mailed to:
IRS Detroit Computing Center,
P.O. Box 32063, Detroit, MI 48232 Attn.: Verification

How do you discern godly counsel?
Psalm 37:30 The godly offer good counsel, they know what is right from wrong.
Proverbs 18:2 Fools have no interest in understanding; they only want to offer their own opinions.
FBAR and Expatriates
With the Federal Government finding over $5.5 billion dollars in Offshore Programs in the last two years, the Fed came out and said it will spend over $500,000 million in new revenue to help catch tax cheats and tax crimes.
What is the FBAR Voluntary Disclosure Practice
It is currently the practice of the IRS that a voluntary disclosure will be considered along with all other factors in the investigation in determining whether criminal prosecution will be recommended.
This voluntary disclosure practice creates no substantive or procedural rights for taxpayers, but rather is a matter of internal IRS practice, provided solely for guidance to IRS personnel. It is best to contact us directly because each case is based on its own merits.
A voluntary disclosure ( VD ) will not automatically guarantee immunity from prosecution; however, a voluntary disclosure may result in prosecution not being recommended. This practice does not apply to taxpayers with illegal source income.This is where we come in. The general rule, contact IRS before they contact you.
A voluntary disclosure occurs when the communication is truthful, timely, complete, and when:
1. the taxpayer shows a willingness to cooperate and does in fact cooperate with the IRS agent in determining his or her correct tax liability,
2. when the taxpayer makes a good faith arrangements with the IRS to pay in full, the tax, interest, and any penalties determined by the IRS to be applicable. Remember it is possible to abate penalties and interest. Honesty goes along way!
3. A full disclosure is timely if it is received before:
a. the IRS has initiated a civil examination or criminal investigation of the taxpayer, or has notified the taxpayer that it intends to commence such an examination or investigation;
b. the IRS has received information from a third party (e.g., informant, other governmental agency, or the media) alerting the IRS to the specific taxpayer’s noncompliance;
c. the IRS has initiated a civil examination or criminal investigation which is directly related to the specific liability of the taxpayer; or
d. the IRS has acquired information directly related to the specific liability of the taxpayer from a criminal enforcement action.
4. Any taxpayer who contacts the IRS in person or through a representative regarding voluntary disclosure will be directed to Criminal Investigation for evaluation of the disclosure.
