Sovereign Citizen Heads To Prison

Posted by admin in Tax on February 3, 2012

by Brian Mahany
Over the years I have met many people in the sovereign citizen movement. These are folks who don’t believe in the tax laws of the United States. Most are quite intelligent and have done much research before they decide not to pay federal income tax. Although all of these folks can cite cases [...]

Posted by admin in Tax on February 2, 2012

by Brian Mahany
The IRS and U.S. Department of Justice show no sign of letting up in their quest to ferret out U.S. taxpayers with unreported offshore accounts.

Should You Consider an Offshore Account?

Posted by admin in Tax on January 22, 2012

by Brian Mahany
About a week ago, I received an email from Doug Casey of Casey Research. The email discussed the benefits of opening an offshore account. His email brings up an important reminder. Often we receive calls from folks who have unreported offshore accounts. They often ask if they should close the account and repatriate [...]

Posted by admin in Tax on January 20, 2012

by Brian Mahany
Switzerland has amended its financial disclosure laws to permit increased exchange of financial information with non-Swiss authorities. The latest move is limited to investigations related to the financing of terrorism and money laundering.
While Americans and others with unreported foreign accounts may be breathing a sigh of relief, the U.S. government frequently adds one [...]

Wall St. Law Partner Heads to Prison for Unpaid Taxes

Posted by admin in Tax on January 20, 2012

by Brian Mahany
Attorneys are officers of the court. We take an oath to uphold the law. Sometimes some of us forget, however. Attorney John J. O’Brien will have 28 months to think about the lessons of crossing the line between court officer and criminal defendant. His conviction may result in him being disbarred.
According to Manhattan [...]

UBS is old news. In recent months we have reported on investigations by the IRS and the U.S. Department of Justice into Credit Suisse, Wegelin, Kantonbank, Clariden Leu, Basler and Julius Baer.

Questions About FATCA? You Are Not Alone

Posted by admin in Tax on January 14, 2012

by Brian Mahany
We no sooner than release a simple post on the new FATCA financial asset reporting requirements and immediately the emails and calls pour in. It seems as if there are more questions than answers.
Major tax law changes always create questions and uncertainty in the first few years after enactment. The new FATCA reporting [...]

As the Pockets of Offshore Tax Evaders get Fatter, the IRS gets FATCA

Posted by admin in Tax on January 14, 2012

by Wassim Malas
In the age-old game of cat-and-mouse between the IRS and tax evaders, the U.S. government just added a new tool to its arsenal. As part of the ongoing effort to improve tax compliance (and more importantly collection) involving foreign financial assets and offshore accounts, the United States in 2010 enacted [...]

Posted by admin in Tax on January 7, 2012

by Brian Mahany
The IRS and CPA community has done an abysmal job of educating U.S. taxpayers with offshore accounts or income about their IRS filing obligations. The Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Initiative ended last fall, yet we still receive calls daily from clients just learning of their reporting obligations. These aren’t tax cheats or people trying [...]
