Presenter: Virginia La Torre Jeker
FBAR compliance is no longer a checkbox—it’s a legal minefield with major financial stakes. From foreign pensions to entity-owned accounts and community property complexities, even seasoned pros can miss key triggers. And with the IRS ramping up enforcement and penalties after the Supreme Court’s Bittner decision, the cost of error is higher than ever. In this expert-led session, international tax attorney Virginia La Torre Jeker, J.D. will break down the updated rules, expose the most common (and costly) filing traps, and give you a roadmap to protect both your clients and your practice. Whether you’re dealing with signature authority-only situations, foreign trusts, or catching up delinquent filers, you’ll walk away confident and prepared.
Session Highlights:
- Protect Your Clients from $10K+ Penalties:Understand the new enforcement landscape post-Bittner, and learn when clients qualify for penalty relief—even if they filed late or didn’t file at all.
- Master All the Forms, Fast:Know exactly when to file FBAR (FinCEN 114), FATCA (8938), 3520/3520-A, 5471, and more—plus how to avoid overlap, duplication, or omission.
- Navigate the Grey Zones with Confidence:Get clear guidance on married taxpayers, entity-owned accounts, and foreign structures—so you don’t miss hidden reporting triggers or expose clients to risk.
