IRS has warned U.S. taxpayers hiding income in undisclosed offshore accounts that they are running out of time to take advantage of the soon-to-expire 2011 Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Initiative (OVDI), which will expire on Aug. 31, 2011.

The IRS reminded taxpayers that the 2011 Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Initiative (OVDI) will expire on Aug. 31, 2011. Taxpayers who come forward voluntarily get a better deal than those who wait for the IRS to find their undisclosed accounts and income. New foreign account reporting requirements are being phased in over the next few years, making it ever tougher to hide income offshore. As importantly, the IRS continues its focus on banks and bankers worldwide that assist U.S. taxpayers with hiding assets overseas.
