What Are Your FATCA Obligations?
FATCA provides for unprecedented IRS scrutiny of compliance with foreign-account requirements that can easily cause problems for unsuspecting taxpayers.
FATCA added new obligations for U.S. taxpayers holding offshore accounts to report those holdings to the IRS through intergovernmental agreements (IGAs) with more than 100 countries.
So, if you’re uncertain about how the disclosure requirements apply, we can help you identify your options and make a decision on the best course of action going forward.
FATCA Exemption Guidelines
FATCA typically requires U.S. taxpayers who meet the FATCA threshold (at least $50,000) to report information on their assets on form 8938.
What is FATCA Withholding?
As the world of FATCA withholdings breaks down into two major categories, foreign financial institutions (FFIs) and non-financial foreign entities (NFFEs), there is a set of hard and fast rules that are applicable to these groupings – although, in the case of an individual business, it is always best to consult with trusted attorneys to ensure correct filing.
Different types of NFFEs and FFIs have varied obligations with respect to the FATCA withholding tax so it’s important to contact an attorney for accurate guidance.
