Note: Though you may have missed the program which ended 9/9/11, you still can file all past unfiled tax returns including forms 5471, 8865, 3520, FBAR, etc., under the regular IRS disclosure program which has always existed. Coming forward and entering this program in most situations will avoid any possible criminal prosecution and you can negotiate with the IRS to attempt to reduce the penalties they might try to impose for filing late offshore reporting tax forms. See our website at www.taxmeless.com to learn more about this procedure.
If you have entered the 2011 Program, and are representing yourself, our firm can provide you with guidance and advice if you wish to continue your self representation, or we can step in and act as your representative before the IRS. We can also help you if you are not satisfied with your current representative. If you tax representative is an Attorney, they can provide you with the privacy and confidentiality of Attorney-Client privilege which is not available from a CPA or EA.
