The Streamlined Procedure

On September 1st, 2012, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) introduced the Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedure, colloquially known as the streamlined procedure. Primarily devised to assist American taxpayers with low-risk violations, these procedures facilitate full compliance without incurring penalties. This program significantly reduces the burden of tax reconciliation, as it necessitates the submission of only a specific set of forms to address overdue taxes.

Additionally, the penalty-free program for US taxpayers serves as an attestation that the taxpayer's failure to disclose foreign financial assets and meet US tax obligations was not a result of deliberate intent. In essence, this certification implies that the individual unconsciously chose to avoid reporting and settling taxes, despite being cognizant of the legal requirements.

Using the penalty-free Streamlined Procedure is a legal and safe way to fix up your past tax filing neglect as an American expat. Even if you have tax debt or haven’t filed in ten years or more, the Streamlined program always allows you to catch up.
