Tax Violations, Undeclared Income and Offshore Bank Accounts

U.S. citizens can run into trouble reporting international income in two ways: through living and working abroad without filing proper tax paperwork in the U.S. and through deposits and investments in foreign banks.

A different set of statutes applies to American workers and ex-patriots living abroad. If you failed to file a tax return and/or if you believe that a criminal proceeding has begun that could prevent you from returning to the U.S, you need experienced legal help. Work with a law firm that understands international tax issues. Contact Houston tax defense attorney Frank Rubino.

The U.S. government has recently succeeded in forcing international banks with branches in the U.S. into disclosing offshore accounts held by U.S. nationals. This is a major change in the long tradition of banking secrecy. This action effectively forces account holders to declare income earned in offshore accounts or to face criminal charges.

For citizens living in the U.S., income generated from an offshore or overseas account must be declared as income. If you failed to fill out the proper tax schedules on your tax return to document income from an offshore bank account, you face federal criminal tax charges.

Amnesty and Other Defenses

The U.S. government has granted a period of amnesty for people who voluntarily come forward to pay taxes for income they did not declare on previously filed tax returns. If you come forward, we protect your interests while resolving your offshore tax dispute and bringing you into compliance with U.S. tax laws.
