About this listen
The tax press has focused recently on captive insurance, conservation easements, Employee Retention Credits, and other “hot” topics. However, international tax enforcement in general, and big penalties for unfiled FBARs in particular, are still key issues. Several cases, largely unnoticed, have held that the IRS can extend the period for assessing FBAR penalties, even though the initial deadline expired. Another case ruled that FBAR penalties are “fines” for constitutional purposes, such that courts can reduce them if they are “excessive.” This article examines disparate rules about extensions of assessment-periods, relevant IRS guidance, and new cases centered on these critical topics.
