Title: Why You Need an OVDP Lawyer? Content: The first question that comes into the mind about hiring an OVDP Lawyer is their benefits. It, in fact, is a very important question, and we will be providing you with a comprehensive answer later. Right now, let us learn some important things about the OVDP or Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program. This program is intact since 2009 in one form or another. The basic reason for this initiative taken by the IRS is to bring the offshore wealth of Americans in country`s tax network. In fact, there are several taxpayers, who have not disclosed some of their bank accounts existing outside the country. There are two cases, and each of the individuals falls in either one of them. The first case is the most serious one and people who kept their assets undisclosed to save tax falls under the first scenario. While the second case is the case of ignorance and taxpayers, who did not disclose such assets might do not know about this legal obligation. The Role of an OVDP Lawyer The role of an OVDP Lawyer is quite a straightforward one. You're hired lawyer would work in a very close collaboration with you right from the start to the filing of your application and even beyond this point in case if the IRS called you for clarifications. This is something that you cannot expect from an ordinary lawyer or an enrolled person. In fact, only a well-trained, learned and experienced OVDP Lawyer can help you in the execution of entire process seamlessly. We have seen several cases in which, taxpayers hooked up just because of hiring an inappropriate person. Thus, in complicated cases like applying for OVDP, you should look for an experienced and specifically trained lawyer only. What I can expect from an OVDP Lawyer As far as the expectations are concerned, you can expect a perfectly fine-tuned application and a seamless process. However, do not expect that an OVDP Lawyer can negotiate with the IRS about the penalties they will charge. This is utterly not possible and in fact, the biggest drawback of the OVDP program as every taxpayer disclosing his offshore accounts voluntarily will pay a
penalty of 27.5%. In spite of this, you can expect valuable suggestions about the methods to improve the qualifying chances of your application. Here, it is important to understand that the IRS has no legal binding whatsoever to entertain taxpayers coming through the channel of OVDP. Thus, the involvement of a lawyer is necessary for the filing of a successful application. OVDP Lawyer & Unlimited Representation The IRS, itself knows about the complication involved in filing and pursuing this program. Therefore, they have issued several directives to help both the lawyers and their clients. It is, in fact, an appreciable thing that a lawyer with proper credentials can enjoy unlimited rights to represent his clients before the IRS. This is very helpful in case if it is not possible for you to keep yourself present in the USA during the entire period of proceedings. What you all need is to nominate a person and, in fact, a lawyer by submitting relevant documents. This is something that will keep entire process hustle free for you. In addition to this, the risk of being trapped by exposing any irrelevant information can also be eliminated by keeping your lawyer at front.
