Get Expert Help with Your FATCA Reporting

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) is a US legislation passed in 2010 aimed at combating tax evasion by US persons holding accounts and other financial assets offshore. FATCA requires foreign financial institutions to report information about financial accounts held by US taxpayers or foreign entities in which US taxpayers hold substantial ownership interest.

If you are a US taxpayer with foreign financial assets exceeding certain thresholds, you must report these assets to the US Department of the Treasury using Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets. The thresholds vary depending on your tax filing status and whether you live in the US or abroad.

Navigating the complexities of FATCA can be challenging. Greenback’s expert team is here to assist you in ensuring full compliance with your FATCA reporting obligations. We simplify the process, providing clear, accurate, and efficient reporting service to alleviate the stress and potential penalties associated with non-compliance.
