FBAR Penalty Guide Updated 10-9-14

FBAR Penalty Guide Updated 10-9-14 http://bit.ly/1zagZTB In this updated webinar, recorded October 9, 2014, we discuss the entire history of the law that spawn this dreadful form -- the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970. The FBAR requirement was intended to catch the worst types of criminals, but now retired grandmothers, holocaust survivors, international sport stars -- people who had no intent to defraud the IRS of a penny, but found themselves on the wrong side of a bad law. The BSA Act is a failure and should go away. But is only if we lived in a sane world, with sane laws. http://ift.tt/10ExfNv In this video we discuss how to avoid significant FBAR penalties whether you are inside or outside an IRS OVDP. One of the worst things you could do is file a "soft" or "quiet" disclosures. We have heard cases of IRS District counsel loaded for bear and assessing 50% FBAR penalties simply in cases were taxpayers were given bad advice. Now, just because the IRS assesses an FBAR penalty, unlike taxes they have to sue you in federal district court to covert their assessment in to a judgment that means something They have to convince a jury you should be held willful. So if you have a appetite for litigation you may be frustrate IRS counsel from doing anything with their assessment; this is certainly a legitimate strategy when there are hundreds of thousands of dollars or millions of the line. http://ift.tt/1vbeI8E http://ift.tt/13idvR2 Anthony Parent
