The new Corporate Transparency Act requires nearly all US businesses to register with the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. Hardly anyone is talking about it, so I wrote a short guide to help business owners.

Our US tax practice is recommending filing 2019 US tax returns early and including a US dollar account through Transferwise to receive stimulus payments. Opening an online account is pretty simple and after you verify your identity and make a small deposit, you can get a US bank account (with routing and account numbers) that the IRS will use for direct deposits.

"Waiver of penalties for non-payment and late filing

*An aggregate tax liability of $25,000 or less for the taxable year of expatriation and the five prior years.
*No prior filing in the US tax system other than a good faith but erroneous filing of a 1040-NR (non-resident tax return)
*US citizenship relinquished after 18 March 2010

Documents needed to submit these procedures:

*Certificate of Loss of Nationality of the United States, *Form DS-4082, or copy of court order cancelling a naturalized citizens certification of naturalization

Last week, the IRS made it easier for "Accidental Americans" to exit the US tax system. Now, the tax compliance package can be filed WITHOUT getting a US Social Security Number. This step had been a difficult, lengthy and ultimately absurd requirement for people who needed it only because they wanted to relinquish their US passport.

The IRS recommends consulting with a lawyer to avoid costly mistakes.

The new Relief Procedures can be found here:

questions about preparing a Foreign Bank Account Report? We can help!

The most common mistakes we see (other than not knowing that these are required):
1 - forgetting to include a private pension
2 - forgetting to include your children's accounts (if you have access to them). or forgetting that your children may need to file their own FBARs
3 - counting account balances separately to decide whether you crossed the $10,000 threshhold (it's the aggregate, not the individual amounts)
4- excluding a high balance because it was only there for a day (for example, construction loan proceeds that went to the builder the next day).
5- forgetting to include "signature authority" accounts - for example, when you're the club treasurer or have access to an aging parent's account to help them pay their bills.

If you have questions, let us know. No need to worry! We can help.
