The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), enacted to target noncompliance by U.S. taxpayers with certain foreign financial accounts and offshore assets, requires U.S. citizens and residents who own certain foreign financial accounts and offshore assets to report those accounts and assets on Form 8938.

This session will focus on FBAR reporting and contrast it with the filing requirements for Form 8938. Do we really have to file both?! Learn to distinguish between foreign accounts and foreign assets; become familiar with reporting thresholds; beware of the harsh consequences for non-compliance. But there’s more:  Forms 3520, 5471, 8621, 8865 and 8891. Forms 926, 5472, 8300 and 8854. Find out what the wrath of FATCA has wrought

Participants will understand:

  • Identify when a taxpayer has a foreign reporting obligation
  • Determine reporting threshold
  • Recognize the overlap of reporting mandates stemming from regulations enacted decades apart.
