Foreign Bank Account: FBAR Litigation Victory for Green & Sklarz

Foreign Bank Account: FBAR Litigation Victory for Green & Sklarz

Jan 12, 2021

Yesterday, a District Court Judge in Connecticut ruled in favor of our client at summary judgment and found that the non-willful penalty for failure to file an FBAR is capped at $10,000 per form, not per account, as had been argued by IRS and and DOJ. This was a matter of first impression for the Court and the ruling will impact many taxpayers. To date, the issue had only been decided by two other courts and they were divided on the issue.

You can read the decision here: United States v. Kaufman

——–

As 2020 closes out, COVID continues to rage across America and the economic devastation from the pandemic is hammering businesses and taxpayers.  There are opportunities for those of us with taxpayers in trouble to help people resolve their issue and avoid IRS enforcement.  When a taxpayer is unable to pay his or her living expenses, they may have their account placed in hardship, or what is known in tax lingo as ‘Uncollectible’ status.  But what does uncollectible status mean, exactly, and how can a taxpayer request to have their account listed as such?  How does the IRS refund offset program work, and its impact on taxpayers already struggling.  The program will also discuss resolving tax debts and the Offer-in-compromise program.   Attorney Eric Green and Former IRS National Taxpayer Advocate Nina Olson will explain what uncollectible status is and what practitioners and taxpayers should do to help their taxpayers be put in a hardship category so enforcement activity ceases.

Criminal Tax New Haven CT: Former New Haven Tax Preparer is Sentenced

Criminal Tax New Haven CT: Former New Haven Tax Preparer is Sentenced

Jan 15, 2020

tax form and penJohn H. Durham, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that DEVON WILLIAMS, 30, of Atlanta, Georgia, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Janet C. Hall in New Haven to eight months of imprisonment, followed by one year of supervised release, for preparing false tax returns.

According to court documents and statements made in court, Williams formerly owned and operated Perfect Preparers, LLC, a tax preparation business based in New Haven.  Between approximately 2014 and 2017, Williams prepared numerous federal tax returns for clients that contained inflated deductions, including false deductions for unreimbursed employee expenses, charitable donations, and mortgage interest. Some returns contained false Schedule C (sole proprietorship business) information.  Losses suffered by the IRS as a result of his fraud totaled at least $550,000.

Judge Hall ordered Williams to pay restitution of $550,000.

On October 3, 2019, Williams pleaded guilty to one count of aiding and assisting the preparation of a false tax return.

As a result of Williams’ fraudulent conduct, many of his clients’ filed tax returns will need to be amended.  Williams’ clients are required to resolve their own tax liability with the IRS.

Williams, who is released on a $150,000 bond, is required to report to prison on March 4, 2020.

This matter was investigated by the Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation Division.  The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer R. Laraia.

If you or someone you know has a criminal tax issue, or was victimized by Devon Williams, please contact us at (203) 285-8545 or by email at egreen@gs-lawfirm.com.
