Offshore Disclosure
If you have unreported foreign bank accounts, assets, or income, the consequences can be serious. IRS offshore disclosure provides a path to report these accounts, reduce potential penalties, and resolve your situation before it escalates.
Offshore noncompliance can expose you to significant civil penalties and, in certain cases, criminal risk. Taking action early can make a substantial difference in the outcome.
I work directly with individuals to evaluate offshore exposure, determine the appropriate disclosure strategy, and manage the process from start to finish.

What Is IRS Offshore Disclosure?
IRS offshore disclosure refers to programs that allow taxpayers to voluntarily report foreign financial accounts, offshore income, and related filing obligations that were not previously disclosed.
Depending on your situation, this may involve streamlined filing compliance procedures or other voluntary disclosure options. Choosing the correct path is critical.
Why Offshore Issues Require Immediate Attention
Offshore reporting issues do not resolve on their own. The longer they remain unaddressed, the greater the potential exposure.
- Penalties may be based on account balances
- IRS scrutiny and audits may increase over time
- Criminal enforcement risk may apply in certain cases
Acting early can significantly reduce risk and improve available options.
Who Needs IRS Offshore Disclosure?
You may need IRS offshore disclosure help if you have:
- Unreported foreign bank accounts or financial assets
- Failure to file FBAR (Foreign Bank Account Reports)
- Unreported foreign income
- Foreign investments or business interests not disclosed
- Concerns about FATCA compliance
- Prior-year international reporting issues
Speak with an attorney before making a disclosure to the IRS.
How IRS Offshore Disclosure Works
1. Case Evaluation
I review your financial accounts, filing history, and circumstances to determine your level of exposure and the appropriate strategy.
2. Program Selection
I determine the correct disclosure path, including streamlined procedures or other voluntary disclosure options. Choosing the wrong program can create unnecessary risk.
3. Coordination of Filing
I coordinate the legal strategy and oversee preparation of amended returns and FBAR filings to ensure consistency and compliance.
4. IRS Representation
I communicate directly with the IRS, respond to inquiries, and guide the process through resolution.
5. Ongoing Compliance
After disclosure, I help ensure continued compliance to prevent future offshore reporting issues.
The longer offshore issues remain unresolved, the more limited your options may become.
