[U.S. Tax] U.S. Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures
The streamlined filing compliance procedures described below are available to taxpayers certifying that their failure to report
foreign financial assets and pay all tax due in respect of those assets did not
result from willful conduct on their part. The taxpayers who are eligible for and use the streamlined
filing compliance procedures may reduce penalties completely or substantially.
The streamlined filing compliance procedures are available to both U.S. individual taxpayers residing outside the
United States and U.S. individual taxpayers residing in the United States.
Descriptions of the specific eligibility requirements for the streamlined
procedures for both non-U.S. residents (the "Streamlined Foreign Offshore
Procedures") and U.S. residents ("Streamlined Domestic Offshore
Procedures") are set forth below.
General Eligibility
|
Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures (SFCP)
|
|
* Taxpayers must certify that conduct was
not willful.
Taxpayers will be required to certify that the
failure to report all income, pay all tax and submit all required information
returns, including FBARs was due to non-willful conduct.
* IRS has Not initiated a civil examination
of taxpayer's returns for any taxable year.
If the IRS has initiated a civil
examination of taxpayer's returns for any taxable year, regardless of whether
the examination relates to undisclosed foreign financial assets, the taxpayer
will not be eligible to use the streamlined procedures.
* Taxpayers eligible to use streamlined
procedures who have previously filed delinquent or amended returns must pay
previous penalty assessments.
Taxpayers eligible to use the streamlined
procedures who have previously filed delinquent or amended returns in an
attempt to address U.S. tax and information reporting obligations with
respect to foreign financial assets (so-called "quiet disclosures")
may still use the streamlined procedures. However, any penalty assessments
previously made with respect to those filing will not be abated.
* Taxpayers who want to participate in the
streamlined procedures need a valid Taxpayer Identification Number.
All returns submitted under the streamlined
procedures must have a valid Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). For U.S.
citizens, resident aliens, and certain other individuals, the proper TIN is a
valid Social Security Number (SSN). For individuals who are not eligible for
an SSN or ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number), your tax return
will not be processed under the streamlined procedures. However, for
taxpayers who are ineligible for an SSN but do not have an ITIN, a submission
may be made under the streamlined procedures if accompanied by a complete
ITIN application.
