The United States reporting landscape for foreign accounts has dramatically changed since the Swiss bank account scandal of the late 2000s. Given heightened enforcement of reporting requirements, standards for FBAR penalties have been well-developed – both by case law and internal Service guidance. Holding foreign accounts has become more complex – based both on U.S. information reporting issues and logistical complications from foreign financial institutions seeking to meet complex U.S. institutional standards. Join Swiss wealth management advisor Thomas Fritz and international taxation expert Patrick McCormick for this informative 90-minute session.
