In what appears to be an intentional leak, Bloomberg reports details of an upcoming deal between the IRS and Switzerland that, if true, is sure to cause a lot of pain for thousands of US taxpayers who neglected to 'come clean' during the 2009 or 2011 Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Initiatives.
This is a big deal.
Who does this affect?
Any US taxpayers with an account in any Swiss bank and who are in non-compliance (meaning, they have not reported the existance of these accounts every year on an FBAR and/or Form 8938).
