Course Description

In November 2018, the IRS changed its long-standing voluntary disclosure practice for both domestic and offshore voluntary disclosures. The new guidance provides less procedural detail and penalty assurance than the old OVDP but also sets out a general framework for handling all voluntary disclosures. This panel discusses the details of the new IRS practice, when it is the right choice for your clients, and what other alternatives may be available.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify IRS efforts to pursue non-compliant taxpayers, as well as clients’ options for reaching compliance via updated Voluntary Disclosure Practice and other programs.
