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

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.

P & C Arkansas

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

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.

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.
