PRINCETON, NJ — As the IRS continues to sharpen its focus on offshore accounts; U.S. taxpayers with foreign financial holdings are facing increased scrutiny over their reporting obligations. Verni Tax Law, led by Attorney Anthony N. Verni, is helping individuals and businesses across the country understand what's required of them and correct past filing gaps before they turn into costly penalties.

The Foreign Bank Account Report, commonly known as FBAR, requires U.S. persons to disclose foreign financial accounts once the combined value crosses $10,000 at any point during the calendar year. Many taxpayers, including expatriates, dual nationals, and business owners with overseas operations, are unaware that this requirement applies to them until they receive a notice from the IRS or stumble across the rule while researching another matter. That's where working with an experienced FBAR reporting attorney USA taxpayers can turn to makes a real difference.

"Most people who come to me didn't set out to break any rules," said Anthony N. Verni, an attorney, Certified Public Accountant, and MBA with more than 25 years of experience in federal tax matters. "They simply didn't know the requirement existed, or they assumed their foreign bank was already reporting on their behalf. My job is to look at the full picture, figure out the safest path forward, and walks them through it step by step."

Verni Tax Law represents clients ranging from individual account holders to trusts, estates, and foreign financial institutions. As a FBAR tax attorney, Verni brings a combination of legal and accounting expertise to each case, reviewing account histories, identifying every reportable asset, and determining whether a client qualifies for the Streamlined Filing Procedures or another disclosure option before any filings are submitted.

For taxpayers who are already compliant but want to avoid future missteps, Verni also serves as a FBAR compliance attorney, helping clients set up recordkeeping practices and annual review processes so nothing slips through the cracks going forward. This kind of ongoing guidance is particularly valuable for business owners with accounts in multiple countries, where signature authority and financial interest rules can be easy to overlook.

Since 2009, Verni has represented taxpayers through the Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program and its various iterations; giving him firsthand insight into how the IRS evaluates these cases and what factors tend to influence penalty outcomes. That background continues to inform how he approaches new FBAR matters today, whether the client is based in the United States or living abroad.

Verni Tax Law maintains offices in Princeton, New Jersey, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and represents clients nationwide and internationally through phone, secures video conferencing, and in-person consultations. All initial consultations are confidential and protected by attorney-client privilege.

Taxpayers who are unsure whether they have an FBAR filing obligation, or who suspect they may have missed one in prior years, are encouraged to schedule a consultation with Verni Tax Law to review their situation before the IRS does it for them.
