Streamlined Domestic vs. Streamlined Foreign
Reasonable Cause
IRS Reasonable Cause Statement: Depending on the facts and circumstances surrounding your nondisclosure, our International Tax Lawyers may recommend Reasonable Cause FBAR as a viable alternative to either OVDP or the streamlined program. Reasonable cause is a fact specific submission based on each applicant's individual facts and circumstances, which may eliminate all penalties.
