Personal tax compliance is an important part of modern financial life. Due to the combination of federal and state tax obligations, US personal tax laws can create significant complexities if you move and work in different places in the United States.
When it comes to foreign income derived by US persons, there are a range of complex rules that also need to be considered – such as income derived by Foreign Grantor Trusts, Grantor Trusts, Controlled Foreign Corporations and Passive Foreign Investment Companies.
In addition, the requirements of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) has made tax reporting and compliance a critical issue. Significant administrative penalties can be levied by the Internal Revenue Service for non-compliance or late lodgement.
If you are not well advised, or unaware of your obligations, the complexities of international tax compliance can create significant challenges and leave you with higher tax burdens and costly penalties. Proper advice that is customized for your situation is essential when it comes to managing your personal taxes.
