IRS on May 6th announced new initiative for offshore accounts. For disclosures submitted by September 23rd, the IRS will greatly reduce the penalties and will waive criminal prosecution. Please contact us (quickly!) if you have unreported income from an offshore account, or if you failed to submit the required foreign account disclosure forms.
 
::
The Maryland and Virginia tax agencies are implementing brief amnesty programs. They will permit taxpayers to resolve delinquent state taxes with large reductions in penalties and interest.
   
::
The Maryland amnesty period will run from September 1st to October 31st. Under the program, the Comptroller's Office will waive penalties and half the interest. This is a substantial concession, since Maryland's interest rate is a whop-ping 13%. Taxes can be paid under the program with a lump sum, or through a monthly payment installment agreement.
   
::
The specific dates for the Virginia amnesty have not yet been announced, but the legislation authorizes the Department of Taxation to offer amnesty for a period of 60 to 75 days sometime between July 2009 and June 2010. Like Maryland, it would also waive penalties and half the interest, and will cover all taxes through tax year 2007.
   
::
If you owe back taxes to Maryland or Virginia, please contact us for assistance in taking advantage of these newly announced (and very brief) tax amnesty programs.
