Ep 61: What Is English For "FATCA & FBAR Reporting"?
We discuss the complexities surrounding FBAR and FATCA, two acronyms that often cause confusion and concern for foreign-born individuals.
We explain the importance of compliance with these regulations, the filing requirements for U.S. citizens and U.S. tax residents (includes foreign nationals on work visas), and the potential penalties for non-compliance.
And yes, the IRS knows about your overseas assets. We also cover the amnesty programs available for those who have missed reporting their foreign accounts.
