International Tax Audits & Investigations in Ohio

International Tax Audits and Investigations

In recent years, there has been an increase in IRS investigations of those who own international property, have assets in foreign accounts or have business operations abroad. There does not need to be a specific red flag in your tax reporting to initiate these types of investigations – simply having foreign real estate, financial accounts or business interests can be enough to trigger a supplemental review.

Protecting Your Interests During an International Tax Investigation

The IRS typically begins an international compliance review by sending a notice of investigation. This does not necessarily signal a full blown audit; however, due to the complexities associated with international tax reporting, it is important for you to get an attorney involved right away.

All of our attorneys have advanced degrees in taxation and meaningful experience in foreign investment regulations.
