When it comes to U.S. international tax compliance, timing matters — and missing a filing deadline can carry steep penalties. At CGC International Tax, we help individuals and businesses address late filings, correct prior mistakes, and respond to IRS inquiries with clarity and confidence.
Many of our clients come to us after discovering they’ve failed to file required international forms such as the FBAR (FinCEN 114), Form 5471, 8865, 8938, 3520, or 3520-A. Others have missed deadlines for U.S. income tax returns, failed to disclose foreign income, or realized that prior filings were incomplete. We help clients assess what went wrong, determine which programs or procedures apply, and bring their filings current in a strategic, penalty-minimizing way.
We regularly prepare submissions under the IRS Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures and help clients make reasonable cause arguments when Streamlined relief isn’t available. We also handle delinquent informational filings and amended returns for clients who are not currently under audit but wish to proactively correct errors. When penalties have already been assessed, we support abatement requests and advise on how best to present facts to the IRS.
In addition to voluntary disclosures, we represent clients in responding to IRS notices, information requests, and audit letters. We ensure that filings are technically sound, documentation is consistent, and communication is professional and timely. Our goal is not only to resolve the issue at hand, but to help prevent future exposure by educating clients on their ongoing obligations.

Whether you’re several years behind or simply facing a one-time issue, we approach each case with care and discretion. Getting back into compliance is possible — and with the right guidance, it can be done efficiently and with minimal long-term impact.
