File A False Tax Return? Add Deportation to Your List of Worries

Posted by admin in Tax on February 24, 2012

by Brian Mahany
Living the American dream is a wonderful thing unless you are not a U.S. citizen and file a false tax return. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that a married Japanese couple legally in the U.S. since 1984 could be deported for filing false tax returns.
Although we hear everyday how bad things [...]

John Doe Summons Powerful Weapon in IRS Arsenal

Posted by admin in Tax on February 18, 2012

by Brian Mahany
Most folks have never heard of a “John Doe” summons. According to the Internal Revenue Manual (the IRS’ own internal procedures manual), a John Doe summons is “is any summons where the name of the taxpayer under investigation is unknown and therefore not specifically identified.”
Until the UBS investigation in 2008, very few [...]

More Offshore Indictments

Posted by admin in Tax on February 6, 2012

by Brian Mahany
First it was indictments of U.S. taxpayers with offshore accounts. Then the Department of Justice and IRS began indicting individual Swiss bankers. Now, in the latest move against unreported foreign accounts, the U.S. government has indicted a Swiss bank, Wegelin & Co., Switzerland’s oldest private bank.
On Friday, Justice officials in Washington D.C. announced [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Storm Clouds Gather For U.S. Taxpayers With Offshore Holdings

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 [...]

IRS Flexes It Muscles, Fed Court Approves

Although many people believe the IRS can do anything it wants, the government does have limits in how it gathers data. Some will argue with me and cite some of the scarier provisions in the various homeland security laws but the IRS still has a number of procedural limits on how it gathers [...]

IRS Wants More Authority To Seize Property

Posted by admin in Tax on December 9, 2011

by Brian Mahany
The IRS is getting ready to ask Congress for more power. Power to levy rental income and non-wages. Prior to 1998, the IRS had broad power to seize property of delinquent taxpayers. Congress curtailed their power that year amid concerns of widespread abuse. Levies went from 473,000 in 2008 to [...]

Filing Delinquent FBARs in a Post Amnesty World

Posted by admin in Tax on December 9, 2011

by Brian Mahany
Amnesty has been over for months and yet many people still have not reported their offshore accounts to the IRS. For some the decision is intentional. For many others, they only just became aware of the law.
The vast majority of offshore account holders are not multimillionaires with hidden Swiss [...]
