    Over the years, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has enforced drastic penalties for inaccurate, late, and non-filing of Foreign Bank Account Report (FBAR). Fines can range from $10,000 for non-willful violations to over 100% of the unaccounted foreign accounts’ aggregated amount for multiple willful violations.

They should keep themselves abreast of the best practices and practical tips than can help them overcome FBAR penalties.

    Listen as a panel of distinguished tax litigators and experts organized by The Knowledge Group provide the audience with an overview of the FBAR and its penalties. Speakers, among other things, will also offer helpful insights on compliance strategies and tips on how to overcome FBAR Penalties.
