Are you thinking about taking advantage of the Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program? There is some good news from the IRS. Extensions are possible if you are working to catch up on your past due US Expat Taxes and FBAR filings.
Do not take our word for it! The following is taken directly from the IRS Website:
“A taxpayer may request an extension of the deadline to complete his or her submission if the taxpayer can demonstrate a good faith attempt to fully comply with FAQ 25 on or before August 31, 2011. The good faith attempt to fully comply must include the properly completed and signed agreements to extend the period of time to assess tax (including tax penalties) and to assess FBAR penalties. Requests for up to a 90 day extension must include a statement of those items that are missing, the reasons why they are not included, and the steps taken to secure them. The IRS understands that filing multiple years of taxes and FBAR reports may be difficult. Requests for extensions must be made in writing and sent to the Austin Campus on or before August 31, 2011: Internal Revenue Service 3651 S. I H 35 Stop 4301 AUSC Austin, TX 78741”
