Prerequisite: None

Continuing his compliance series, Matt Eddleman covers foreign account reporting obligations and the penalty risks that follow when they go wrong.
Agenda
  • Identify the filing thresholds, deadlines, and statutory basis for FinCEN Form 114 (FBAR) and IRS Form 8938.
  • Calculate civil penalty exposure for non-willful and willful FBAR violations under current inflation-adjusted maximums and the per-report standard of Bittner v. United States.
  • Distinguish non-willful conduct from willful or reckless disregard, and assess the sufficiency of a reasonable-cause or non-willfulness certification.
  • Evaluate remediation options — SFOP, SDOP, DFSP, DIIRSP, and the Voluntary Disclosure Practice — and select the program appropriate to a client's facts.
  • Apply recent regulatory developments, including the 2026 removal of the DFSP webpage and the Schwarzbaum Eighth Amendment holding, to current client advisement.
