On Friday, the first American was prosecuted in a UBS tax case and sentenced to house arrest after admitting he concealed about $6 million in assets from the IRS.
Americans who missed the October 15th deadline for tax amnesty can still reduce severe IRS penalties for offshore accounts (including FBAR penalties that can amount to 200-300% of the asset value of the account!) Account holders need to get expert tax help

Just wanted to share a great note I received from a recent tax relief client who received a successful resolution for his case!

It’s official–UBS, the Swiss Banking Giant has reached a deal with the US Government and the Swiss Government to release around 4,450 names of American account holders suspected of tax evasion.
The US Government estimates there to be $18 billion hidden in these offshore accounts–giving the IRS plenty reason to scrutinize and audit both the innocent and guilty in the upcoming months.

The Offer in Compromise (OIC) application process has been a challenging and burdensome process for many applicants. The privilege of being approved for a OIC closely resembles receiving amnesty from the IRS; you can save thousands of dollars in back taxes, IRS tax penalties and interest.
Recently, the IRS unveiled a simplified version of the OIC application form by splitting the original form into two parts: Form 656 and Form 656-B

Failure to file your legally required tax returns can cause you to incur significant penalties and may be construed as a criminal (misdemeanor and potentially a felony!) act by the IRS. However, there are circumstances where an individual may have “reasonable cause” for not filing or paying taxes due (divorce, job loss, death in the family, illness, etc).
The law allows for the abatement of penalties for reasonable cause, which is

It’s always great to hear from satisfied clients after we’ve helped them resolve their tax problems. We recently helped a taxpayer in Southern California gain his financial livelihood back. He was sick and unable to pay his back taxes. We were able to negotiate a penalty abatement on his behalf.

A recent article in the Wall Street Journal looked at how the broad-based tax increases may be just around the corner in 2009 as many state budgets are being ravaged by the recession. There may also be a push to boost personal income taxes as well as state sales taxes.

Yesterday I wrote about Charles J. O’Byrne, the top government aide who claims that his 5 years of tax debt amounting to $300,000 was a by-product of his bouts with depression and a condition that makes it difficult for him to fill out his tax returns.
Tax evaders have been claiming to suffer from “failure to file syndrome” for years - even though it’s really not likely to hold up in
