Since 2017, the international tax landscape has become significantly more complex and the compliance and reporting requirements for companies and individuals have become equally complex.

The U.S. Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service have continued to rework and rerelease international informational filings on an annual basis. These forms and their updates are designed to address ever-evolving rules and regulations and taxpayers can find themselves struggling to keep up. With this in mind, it is of the utmost importance for companies and their leaders to stay up-to-date on international information filings to be in the best position to understand their obligations.

It is our goal to help participants understand what forms and information they need to file for themselves, their employers, and/or their clients. This course will focus on both foundational principles that we as tax advisors see misunderstood every day, as well as some of the more complex and nuanced parts of the forms that can be confusing and overwhelming if you aren't required to do them on a daily basis.What You'll Learn:Introduction and Overview of U.S. Federal International Informational Forms
