Up-Close Look at the New IRS Voluntary Disclosure Program: Unravelling New Provisions and Hot Issues
The aggressive focus against tax evasion and other criminal activities around the globe is likely to continue. In the U.S., the crackdown on taxpayers who fail to report offshore financial assets and accounts remains to be a top priority for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Investigation Department, including non-compliant virtual currency that should be disclosed under the expanded cryptocurrency reporting.
The stiffer penalties that await violators and non-compliant entities underscore the need for all concerned individuals to ensure reporting transparency and due diligence. They should also stay well-versed with the recent developments in foreign assets as well as current program options to ensure compliance considering the complex and evolving nature of the current disclosure system and requirements.
