IRS TAX AMNESTY PROGRAM
Late on Your US Taxes? Catch Up Penalty-Free.
If you are a US citizen or Green Card holder living in the UK and didn’t know you needed to file US taxes, you aren’t alone. Under the official IRS Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures (SFOP), eligible expats can get completely compliant without facing late-filing, late-payment, or FBAR penalties.
Who’s Eligible?
Genuinely Accidental
You must certify that your failure to file was “non-willful”—meaning it happened due to an honest mistake, negligence, or a simple lack of awareness regarding the law.
Living Outside the US
You must pass the IRS physical presence test, meaning you have physically resided outside of the United States for at least 330 full days in one or more of the last three tax years.
Clean Audit Record
You are fully eligible as long as the IRS has not already opened a civil examination or criminal investigation into your tax returns. It must be a voluntary disclosure.
Phase 1: 3 Years of
US Tax Returns
We prepare and file your last three delinquent or amended federal tax returns. This includes claiming your retroactive Foreign Earned Income Exclusions (Form 2555) or Foreign Tax Credits (Form 1116) to completely minimize or eliminate the taxes you actually owe.
If you held a combined balance of $10,000 or more in your UK bank, investment, or retirement accounts at any point in the last six years, we prepare and electronically submit six years of delinquent FBARs (FinCEN Form 114) safely.
Phase 2: 6 Years of
FBAR Reporting
Phase 3: The
Non-Willfulness Certification
We prepare and file your last three delinquent or amended federal tax returns. This includes claiming your retroactive Foreign Earned Income Exclusions (Form 2555) or Foreign Tax Credits (Form 1116) to completely minimize or eliminate the taxes you actually owe.
