Delinquent US Tax Returns

Failure to file could have adverse consequences due to various statutes of limitations, even where foreign earned income could have been fully excluded, not to mention potential interest and penalty charges.  Seriously delinquent tax debts may also result in the revocation or denial for renewal of US passports.  We help expatriates who have delinquent US tax returns get back into compliance while mitigating tax and penalty exposures through tax compliance programs such as Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures and Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program.

Foreign Entity Classification
