Learning Objective

  • To discuss the rules surrounding reporting foreign assets to the IRS.
  • To analyze what counts as a foreign asset in the eyes of the IRS.
  • To be familiar with the various Foreign Asset Disclosure Forms, their functions, exceptions, who must file them, and how to use them. 
  • To discuss the associated penalties that come with failure to disclose foreign assets.

Course Overview

Until you know what questions to ask, you won't be able to know if your clients may need the many various international information returns. 

Information returns are used to summarize and disclose information to the IRS. For example, you may have an ownership interest in a foreign business, but the foreign business does not distribute any income to you. Therefore, while there is no income to include on a tax return, the applicant may still need to file an information return with the IRS.

In this CE Tax Course, we cover how to determine if your clients are required to report foreign income or ownership interests with their tax returns. 

Many of these forms have penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 if they are overlooked, and are very difficult to convince the IRS to waive once assessed. Thus, practitioners must screen clients and make sure they are staying out of trouble, and for business owners to understand the risks to make sure their team is covering all the bases. 

In this online CPE webinar learn the essential questions to ask to determine if forms such as 5471, 926, 5472, 8804/8805, 8621, 3520/3520-A, 8938, FBAR, and 1120F are required in various common situations, to steer clear of penalties and compliance headaches.

Key topics covered in this course:

  • International Returns Basics
  • Form 5472
  • Form 8806- Change in Capital Structure
  • Foreign Derived Intangible Income (FDII)
  • Foreign-Owned Disregarded Entity
  • Foreign-Owned US Partnership Issues
  • Form 8833 Tax Treaties
  • Form W8-BEN and W-BEN-E
  • Form 8865 - Foreign Partnership
  • Form 3520 - Foreign Gifts and Trusts
  • Form 3520-A - Foreign Trusts
  • Form 8621 - PFIC Income
  • FBAR Reports
  • Form 8938 - Foreign Financial Accounts
