DESCRIPTION
Resolve Your Clients’ Tax Filing Omissions of Undisclosed Offshore Income and Assets
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has been aggressively pursuing unreported foreign accounts since 2009. During that time, the IRS has offered various Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Programs (OVDP’s). On March 14, 2018, the IRS announced that the current OVDP would end on September 28, 2018. It is now imperative that you review the best way to help your clients correct prior omissions for their undisclosed foreign financials. Join this session, where taxation attorney Robert McKenzie will guide you on how you can competently advise your clients of the best methods to resolve filing omissions.
