Overseas Green Card Holder & US Tax Residency | Tax Lawyer & Attorney

While most US taxpayers understand that a US permanent resident who resides in the United States is a US tax resident, there seems to be a great deal of confusion over whether the same is true with respect to a US permanent resident who resides overseas (hereinafter, “Overseas Green Card Holder”). In other words, the […]

FinCEN Form 114 and FBAR Are the Same Form | FBAR Tax Lawyers

January 7, 2019/in FBAR, Legal Notes /by Manager

In my practice, I often receive phone calls from prospective clients who treat FinCEN Form 114 and FBAR as two different forms. Of course, these are the same forms, but I have asked myself: why do so many taxpayers believe that FinCEN Form 114 and FBAR are two different forms? The simplest answer, of course, […]

International Personal Services Sourcing Rules | International Tax Lawyer

January 2, 2019/in international tax lawyer, Legal Notes /by Manager

In a previous article, I explained that US tax law sources personal services to the place where these services are performed. What about a situation where such services are performed partially in the United States and partially outside of the United States (hereinafter, I will call such services “international personal services”)? In this article, I […]

OVDP Closure Sets the Stage for a Dramatic Increase in IRS FBAR Audits

October 25, 2018/in Lead Article, offshore voluntary disclosure lawyers Minneapolis /by Manager

There has been virtually no discussion of the impact of the OVDP closure beyond how it affects the ability of willful taxpayers to settle their past noncompliance. This is very unfortunate, because there is a direct correlation between OVDP and IRS tax enforcement activities. In this article, I will discuss how the OVPD closure sets […]

August 24 OVDP Deadline | OVDP Tax Lawyer & Attorney

August 23, 2018/in Legal Notes, offshore voluntary disclosure lawyers Minneapolis /by Manager

The fact that the IRS Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program (“OVDP”) closes on September 28, 2018, obscured another important deadline that is much closer – the August 24 OVDP Deadline to submit the Preclearance Request. August 24 OVDP Deadline: What is a Preclearance Request? The Preclearance Request is basically a pre-application process to make sure that […]

Understand How IRS Amnesty Works Before Entering 2014 OVDP

August 3, 2018/in Legal Notes, offshore voluntary disclosure lawyers Minneapolis /by Manager

Less than two months are left before the 2014 IRS Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program (“2014 OVDP”) closes on September 28, 2018. 2014 OVDP may offer great benefits to taxpayers with undisclosed foreign accounts, such as the possibility of avoiding criminal penalties and greatly reducing FBAR civil penalties. Yet, entering 2014 OVDP also implies a great […]

Testimonials Of Some Of The People We Have Helped:

Mr. Sherayzen is the best International Tax Lawyer and Consultant in this part of the country.

He knows and proves very well that, one size does not fit all. Mr. Sherayzen is very thorough and meticulous in the delivery of his work. He is a subject-matter-expert. Read More

We first came to know about FBAR around end of 2012 and found out that we had some accounts in our home country that should have been reported. Unfortunately, we did not have any knowledge of these accounts and they were opened by our parents when we were minors. It was a complicated and unpleasant situation, exacerbated by a myriad of conflicting information online. Read more…

Marie-Jeanne Delevaux-HargittMinneapolis

When we unexpectedly received a distribution from a foreign trust that we had been unaware of, we were suddenly confronted with the convoluted tax rules governing foreign trusts. At first, we sought the help of a regular tax preparer, who was a former IRS employee, but after some time it became clear that he was in way over his head. After a lot of searching, we found Eugene Sherayzen and immediately realized we were in good and knowledgeable hands. Eugene is an expert in this incredibly complex area Read More

Dennis and Stephanie, Minnesota

I discovered Eugene Sherayzen somewhat accidentally, when I sought his services to help me with a comparatively minor foreign gift reporting form. In the process, he uncovered and then straightened out an extremely messy financial situation created by less than ethical european bankers at the death of my father. The process took several years, involved hundreds of PFIC calculations, and lead to one of the thickest set of tax returns in recent memory… Eugene’s hard work and clear thinking brought it all to a successful conclusion and avoided a potentially ruinous outcome. Through it all, I appreciated Eugene’s integrity, his kindness and sense of humor. He has earned my highest recommendation.

René Coppieters

My wife and I engaged the services of Eugene Sherayzen in 2009, feeling very apprehensive as we were by no means familiar with legal processes.

Dmitriy Fooks

I faced to an international tax issue in 2014. The issue was very complicated because the issue included several aspects (such as streamlined disclosure, capital gain tax, Form 8938, FBAR, and state tax) in same time. I tried to contact local CPAs, but they even could not understand what is going on (absolutely they also could not provide any solution at all). I was very frustrated and tried to find an expert on international tax issue. Fortunately, I found Attorney Sherayzen through internet. Once I contacted to Attorney Sherayzen, I did not have to pay attention to the tax issue anymore. Read more…

It was early 2012, and a few years after opening an offshore GoldMoney account, that I stumbled upon FBAR and US offshore account reporting requirements. I needed to back-file, and even figure out how to file! Information on how to comply was so scarce, and the fines so high for mistakes that it was a stressful time to say the least! … When I found Eugene Sherayzen via Google, it was already late on a Friday night. I expected to leave a voicemail, suffer through the weekend, and pick things up on the following Monday. He called me right back and from there began a very smooth experience working with a highly competent individual. Read More

Michael from Carlsbad CA

Eugene could not save me from months of sleepless nights and stomach-churning anxiety, but his efficiency, meticulous attention to detail, and profound knowledge of the intricacies of the most byzantine of American tax laws saved me and my meagre fortune from ruin. Since then, I have relied on Eugene to prepare my taxes every year. My stomach is much better, and I get plenty of sleep. Eugene is everything you want in a lawyer. He is knowledgeable, thorough, and expeditious, and he doesn’t charge you an arm and a leg. That he is also a nice guy with a sense of humour is icing on the cake. I can enthusiastically recommend him! Read More
