International Tax Compliance Carries Some of the Steepest Penalties in Tax Law
FBAR penalties can reach $100,000+ per account per year. FATCA noncompliance can trigger 40% accuracy penalties. Undisclosed foreign income can lead to criminal prosecution. The penalties for international tax noncompliance are disproportionately severe — and the IRS is increasingly focused on enforcement in this area.
Whether you have unreported foreign accounts, foreign income, foreign business interests, or need to come into compliance through voluntary disclosure, the path forward requires careful planning with experienced counsel.

Common Questions
International Tax FAQs
What is the penalty for not filing an FBAR?
Non-willful FBAR violations carry penalties up to $10,000 per account per year. Willful violations can reach $100,000 or 50% of the account balance — whichever is greater — per account per year. These penalties can easily exceed the value of the accounts themselves.
What are the Streamlined Filing Procedures?
The Streamlined Procedures allow taxpayers who can certify that their noncompliance was non-willful to come into compliance with reduced penalties. For taxpayers living abroad, the penalty may be zero. For U.S. residents, the penalty is 5% of the highest aggregate balance of unreported foreign financial assets.
Can I go to jail for not reporting foreign accounts?
Yes. Willful failure to file FBARs is a federal crime carrying up to 5 years in prison and $250,000 in fines. The IRS and DOJ have successfully prosecuted numerous individuals for FBAR violations. Voluntary disclosure before an investigation begins can prevent criminal prosecution.
I have foreign rental income I haven't reported. What should I do?
Unreported foreign income needs to be addressed carefully. Depending on your circumstances, the Streamlined Procedures, a quiet disclosure, or a formal voluntary disclosure may be appropriate. The right approach depends on whether your noncompliance was willful and whether the IRS has already identified you.
