By: The Knowledge Group, LLC Event Synopsis: All U.S. taxpayers are required to file an annual reporting form called a Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (or FBAR), stating whether they have a financial interest in any bank accounts maintained in foreign countries. Annual filing failure of this form is a felony that may also lead non-filers to substantial civil penalties. Both the U.S. Justice Department and Internal Revenue Service have announced that FBAR and its compliance is a top enforcement priority. In 2009, the Justice Department entered into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement with UBS AG, Switzerland’ In February 2011, the Internal Revenue Service unveiled its 2011 Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Initiative, a long-awaited second amnesty program designed to encourage U.S. taxpayers with undisclosed foreign bank accounts to come into compliance with U.S. tax laws and avoid possible criminal prosecution. Shortly thereafter, the Treasury Department announced new regulations governing foreign bank account reporting which are effective for FBARs due to be filed by June 30, 2011. These new regulations make substantial changes to the foreign bank account reporting requirements and are effective immediately.
