Tax Violations, Undeclared Income and Offshore Bank Accounts
It is illegal for U.S. citizens to have an offshore bank account unless they fill out proper schedules on their tax return. Any money generated from an offshore or overseas account must be declared as income.
While foreign banks had previously been able to maintain the privacy of account holders, the U.S. government has recently succeeded in forcing international banks with branches in the U.S. (UBS, for example) into disclosing offshore accounts held by U.S. citizens. This action has effectively forced account holders to declare income earned in offshore accounts or face possible prison sentences.
The U.S. government has granted a period of amnesty for people who voluntarily come forward to pay taxes for income they did not declare on previously filed tax forms. If you come forward during the amnesty period, you will not be prosecuted for a federal tax crime.
