IRS enforcement has reached new heights, with much more over the next decade thanks to recent congressional funding.  The IRS is carrying out numerous Compliance Campaigns.  Audits are focused on unreported foreign assets, repatriation taxes, foreign investors with U.S. property, FATCA violations, withholding taxes on foreign payments, receipt of foreign gifts and inheritances, deceased taxpayers with offshore violations, and much more.  Several voluntary disclosure programs still exist, which can help taxpayers “come clean.”  This presentation explains key issues, current IRS campaigns, and remedies for taxpayers.
