]]> Non-Willful Conduct Under Streamlined Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program https://jmtaxlaw.com/non-willful-conduct-under-streamlined-offshore-voluntary-disclosure-program/ Fri, 24 Jun 2016 18:33:03 +0000 https://jmtaxlaw.com/?p=2603 Non-willful conduct is required under the Streamlined Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program (Streamlined OVDP).  If the failure to report foreign bank accounts and/or foreign financial assets was non-willful, you may be subject to a lower penalty base.  The key question is, what constitutes non-willful actions by a taxpayer?  Generally, the IRS would consider non-willful to mean the conduct or failure to properly report was due to a mistake, negligence or based upon a good faith misunderstanding of the law.  Perhaps an understandable lack of knowledge may lead to non-willful conduct.

The video below also provides a short explanation of non-willful conduct, which of course is based upon the facts and circumstances of each case.  Please remember to consult with your tax attorney directly if you have questions relating to FATCA, FBAR filings and/or other foreign tax compliance issues.

]]> IRS Supporting Document Request https://jmtaxlaw.com/irs-supporting-document-request/ Fri, 10 Jul 2015 13:43:56 +0000 https://jmtaxlaw.com/?p=2190 Taxpayers may receive a IRS Supporting Document Request from the Internal Revenue Service requesting supporting documents for certain items, issues or positions taken on a tax return.  Common issues of which the IRS would request a taxpayer support could be IRS Filing Status.  For example, if a taxpayer filed head of household, the IRS may want documentation to verify the dependent and elements that allow a taxpayer to claim head of household.  Furthermore, a common document request by the IRS is to verify children and the related elements that are necessary to claim certain tax credits.

Generally the taxpayer can compile the necessary records and documents, and forward to the Internal Revenue Service via mail and the document request is not necessarily an audit whereby the taxpayer would meet with an examiner.  If the taxpayer after reviewing the necessary requirements and elements realizes they should not have claimed a certain filing status or taken a specific position on the tax return, they can agree with an assessment of tax that would have occurred had the taxpayer not claimed a certain status, dependent, related credit or other issue.

The video below has been prepared a tax attorney at The McGuire Law Firm Denver Tax Attorney to provide additional information regarding the IRS requesting additional documents to support positions taken on a tax return.
