International Tax Services in Carlsbad

If you have investments, assets, offshore business accounts, retirement accounts, checking accounts, or other financial accounts held with financial institutions overseas, you may be subject to U.S. laws requiring you to provide appropriate international information reporting and pay U.S. taxes on global income. Failure to comply with these requirements will subject you to civil and potentially criminal tax and foreign information reporting penalties, depending on whether the noncompliance is gauged to be “willful” or merely negligent, by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Even if you are already in compliance with the law, you may be sustaining needless financial losses due to double-taxation. Fortunately, this is a common tax issue which can be corrected or ameliorated through thoughtful and meticulous international tax planning.

Whether you are concerned about an unmet requirement to report foreign income, or have questions about how to minimize the impacts of double-taxation, it is in your best interests to discuss the issue with an international tax attorney as soon as possible – ideally before receiving any notices from the IRS. If you wait to act until after you have already been contacted by the IRS, you will have fewer (and less favorable) options for resolving the problem. However, no matter how complex or difficult the situation, rely on our international tax lawyers for skillful, financially sound guidance. For issue-specific assistance, you may wish to contact our:

Carlsbad Criminal Tax Defense Attorneys

The IRS routinely works with state agencies, such as the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB), as well as other federal agencies, such as the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), to investigate taxpayers who are suspected of misdemeanor or felony tax crimes. These investigations occasionally arise from tax audits of taxpayers, but can also be triggered for reasons ranging from failure to file to selection by fraud detection units.

Our criminal tax defense attorneys and tax evasion lawyers are qualified to handle criminal tax proceedings in state and federal court in California. In addition to cases involving willful failure to file a tax return, we also handle tax charges including but not limited to:

• 26 U.S. Code § 7202 – Willful failure to collect or pay over tax
• 26 U.S. Code § 7206 - Fraud and false statements
• 26 U.S. Code § 7212 - Attempts to interfere with administration of Internal Revenue laws
• 18 U.S. Code § 371 - Conspiracy to commit offense or to defraud United States

We are very adept at diffusing the potential criminal tax exposure that often comes to the surface in a highly contested divorce or where a business is sold.
