Filing FBARs in 2011:
What are the Rules? How to Resolve Noncompliance?
With the IRS focusing on taxpayers with unreported offshore accounts, it is never too early to begin thinking about filing 2011 FBARs to report foreign accounts held in 2010. Final regulations were issued on February 23, 2011, to amend the regulations under the Bank Secrecy Act provisions that apply to the FBAR.
Holland & Knight International Tax Partner Kevin E. Packman will review the state of the FBAR filing in 2011 – who needs to file, which accounts must be reported and what to do about signature authority.
Mr. Packman will also discuss the implications of the new IRS Offshore Voluntary Disclosure program, which was announced on February 8, 2011, and how taxpayers can benefit from it. He will explain the eligibility requirements, penalty structure and compare it to the 2009 voluntary disclosure program.
The Speaker
Kevin E. Packman, a partner in the Private Wealth Services Section, chairs the firm’s Offshore Tax Compliance Team and focuses his practice on IRS tax controversies. He also assists clients with estate and gift tax planning for domestic and international clients as well as on pre-immigration planning for international clients.
