Taxpayers in Alaska Who Have Offshore Accounts May Be at Risk of Incurring Severe IRS Penalties if Assets Are Not Reported

Are you an Alaska taxpayer with undisclosed offshore accounts? If so, you are considered a prime candidate for an IRS investigation. Regardless of whether you are an individual or business owner, ownership, having financial interest in or being a signature authority over a foreign account drastically increases your chances of having your tax return audited by the IRS.

This is largely due to the fact that the IRS has stepped up its efforts to crack down on tax evasion, and many taxpayers fail to accurately disclose their foreign assets. Taxpayers whose aggregate offshore assets exceed $10,000 at any point during a calendar year are required to report them. The $10,000 threshold applies to the combined sum of all foreign accounts, not to the total of each account individually. This rule can be confusing for many offshore account holders, which can lead them to inadvertently omit information when filing Form 114, aka Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR). And, unfortunately, even non-willful FBAR violations can lead taxpayers to incur serious financial and even criminal penalties.

Luckily, the Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program (OVDP) can help non-willful FBAR violators come into compliance with foreign account reporting requirements and can even save them from the more severe IRS penalties. However, the program is only an option for taxpayers whose offshore accounts have not yet been investigated by the IRS – among other stipulations. Because the OVDP and other foreign account disclosure options can be confusing, it is crucial that taxpayers seeking to disclose their offshore assets speak with an experienced IRS attorney prior to making a decision
