FAQs
What is foreign tax compliance?
Foreign tax compliance involves meeting U.S. reporting and tax obligations related to overseas income, financial accounts, investments, trusts, businesses, gifts, inheritances, and other foreign assets. The required filings depend on citizenship or residency status, account values, ownership, income type, and applicable reporting thresholds.
What is the difference between FBAR and FATCA reporting?
FBAR is generally filed with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network using FinCEN Form 114. FATCA-related reporting may require Form 8938 to be attached to a federal income tax return. The forms have different thresholds, definitions, filing procedures, and penalties, and some taxpayers may need both.
Do U.S. citizens living abroad still file U.S. tax returns?
U.S. citizens and certain resident taxpayers generally remain subject to U.S. income tax filing rules even while living abroad. Foreign earned income exclusions, foreign tax credits, treaty provisions, and other rules may reduce double taxation, but they do not automatically remove all filing and reporting responsibilities.
What happens when foreign accounts were not previously reported?
Available options depend on whether the missed reporting was intentional, how many years are affected, whether tax is owed, and the taxpayer’s overall circumstances. IRS procedures may be available for certain eligible taxpayers, but professional review is important before submitting late or amended filings.
Does foreign rental or investment income need to be reported?
Foreign rental income, dividends, interest, capital gains, and other investment income may be reportable on a U.S. tax return. Additional forms may also apply depending on the type of asset, entity ownership, income source, account values, and any foreign taxes paid.
Can Shah & Associates assist with FBAR and FATCA filings?
Yes. Shah & Associates assists eligible individuals and businesses with foreign account and asset reporting, including FBAR and applicable FATCA-related filings. We can review overseas income, financial accounts, ownership interests, prior filing history, and supporting records to identify potential U.S. reporting obligations.
