Short answer
What this page answers
Missed international filings should be triaged before corrective submissions because FBAR, FATCA, foreign entity, trust, PFIC, tax reporting, penalty, and willfulness facts can change the available path.
International Tax
Offshore disclosure triage
Streamlined and voluntary disclosure decisions start with an honest willful-versus-non-willful read of the facts before choosing a filing path.
Who this serves
U.S. persons with missed FBARs, Form 8938, Form 5471, Form 3520, PFIC, foreign trust, or foreign account reporting issues.
Common risks
Taxpayers may file late forms or amended returns without understanding reasonable cause, non-willfulness, voluntary disclosure, or counsel-sensitive facts.
MMVFO process
MMVFO maps accounts, assets, entities, income, filing years, prior advice, notices, and documentation gaps before corrective options are evaluated.
Counsel review
Willfulness, privilege, voluntary disclosure, criminal exposure, and legal conclusions should be handled by qualified counsel under written scope.
Post-remediation compliance
After the path is selected, the client may need ongoing FBAR, FATCA, entity, trust, PFIC, and income-tax compliance controls.
