    IRS Form 8938
    FATCA requires any U.S. person holding foreign financial assets with an aggregate value exceeding $50,000 to report certain information about those assets on a new form (Form 8938) that must be attached to the taxpayer’s annual tax return. Reporting applies for assets held in taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Failure to report foreign financial assets on Form 8938 will result in a penalty of $10,000 (and a penalty up to $50,000 for continued failure after IRS notification). Further, underpayments of tax attributable to non-disclosed foreign financial assets will be subject to an additional substantial understatement penalty of 40 percent.
    Under FATCA, U.S. taxpayers holding financial assets outside the United States must report those assets to the IRS on a new form attached to their tax return. Penalties apply for failure to comply with this new reporting requirement. Reporting is required for assets held in taxable years beginning on or after January 1

    Indian Business Man Prosecuted For Unreported HSBC India Account
    Posted on February 24, 2014
    by Brian M

    Although all the media attention on unreported foreign accounts appears to focused on Switzerland, the Justice Department and IRS continue to look worldwide for U.S. taxpayers with undeclared offshore accounts. According to a press release from the United States Attorney’s Office, Sameer Gupta pleaded guilty last week to one count of tax evasion after the IRS discovered he had an unreported bank account at HSBC India. He faces 5 years in prison.
    Possessing or having signature authority over an account in India is entirely legal if the account is reported annually to the IRS. Foreign bank and investment accounts must be reported each year on a Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts, also known as an FBAR or form TD 90-22.1. Failure to file an FBAR is a felony.
    Prosecutors say that in an effort to conceal his identity, Gupta had some 17 different bank accounts, several in nominee format. Opening an account in a false name or deliberately concealing one’s identity by opening an account in a third party name is considered an affirmative act of tax evasion.
    Prosecutors say the tax loss caused by Gupta’s activities was somewhere between $200,000 and $400,000. As part of his plea deal, Gupta agreed to pay the IRS a $259,000 penalty. The judge can impose

  8. The complexity of life insurance puts many litigators at a disadvantage when disputes reach the stage of legal action. In addition, if policies are part of a retirement plan or other tax-favored entity, special rules apply. Even the methods of paying for life insurance—especially split-dollar and outside premium financing—affect an outcome. Tax implications are another factor.

    Lance Wallach is one of few professionals who know how the pieces work both alone and with estate and financial planning. In many situations, what the client bought or the way that they bought it was inappropriate. In other cases the right product was sold in the right way but the purchaser is unhappy. Richard has the forensic ability to uncover what has taken place.

    Working for both plaintiffs and defendants, depending on the merits of the case, Lance advises, opines, and testifies based upon the facts, his knowledge and experience. This makes him a very powerful and credible witness.

  9. IRS Issues Final Sec. 6707A Regulations

    On September 2, 2011, the IRS issued final regulations concerning the section 6707A penalty. Such a penalty is imposed on taxpayers who fail to include any information regarding a reportable transaction which was required to be disclosed. The final regulations follow the statutory language of section 6707A as amended by the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, but do not give further guidance regarding the Service’s computation of the penalty.

    It is anticipated that such penalty computation guidance will be issued at a later date.(such guidance is expected by way of regulations that will be issued at a later date). Nonetheless, the final regulations do provide additional guidance concerning rescission of the penalty.

    The attorneys of Williams Coulson regularly represent clients with section 6707A matters before the Internal Revenue Service. Please do not hesitate to contact
