The IRS announced that it will end the Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program (OVDP), effective September 28, 2018. The IRS is pressing taxpayers with undisclosed foreign accounts, entities and income to come forward before the September 28, 2018 deadline and become compliant. Therefore, US taxpayers who have unreported foreign assets and income have a limited amount of time to participate in the OVDP before the program ends. If they do not, they may face dire penalties, and, in some circumstances, criminal prosecution.
