Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures for Past Years

Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures for Past Years Dealing with the American tax system can be a daunting task - the paperwork, rules, and regulatiuons can make it complicated filing from overseas even if you have little or nothing to report. Furthermore, many Americans do not realize that they must continue to pay taxes even if they are no longer living in the United States. Failure to do so can lead to fines and penalties of tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Luckily the IRS has instituted a new system that streamlines the process for taxpayers who have failed to file while living abroad, known as the Foreign Offshore Streamlined Procedure. By using the procedure to file returns for previous years, you can avoid the fees and get up to date on your taxes with minimal hassle. The only proviso is that the failure to file was unintentional, and you can file and have your past year's returns evaluated as though they had been turned in on time.

I can complete past years tax returns, complete with the correct tax rates and date accurate forms, for the same price as a tax prep package for this year.
