Description
Section 6038B requires U.S. persons to report specific information to the IRS regarding property transfers to foreign persons in certain non-recognition transactions. While the Code and regulatory guidance are intended to prevent taxpayers from shifting appreciated property to foreign jurisdictions to avoid U.S. taxation, the reporting requirements apply whether or not the transferred asset has appreciated.
Taxpayers making these transfers must file Form 926 and include the form with their individual income tax return in the year of the transfer. The filing requirements apply for all property, including cash and intangible property, subject to certain requirements, ownership and valuation thresholds, and exceptions.
The information required on Form 926 can be extensive, and the penalties for noncompliance--10 percent of the fair market value of the property transferred, up to $100,000 and potential gain recognition as if the transfer were a sale for fair market value--are considerable. Moreover, technical expertise is necessary to identify when given transactions require such reporting. Further, the IRS uses Form 926 to verify consistency with other foreign reporting requirements, so a failure to file a complete and accurate Form 926 can result in additional tax consequences--such as FATCA penalties and extension of the statute of limitations.
Listen as our experienced panel provides a thorough and practical guide to completing Form 926 and complying with the relevant information reporting obligations.
