Filing an incomplete return or failing to file results in a penalty of the greater of $10,000.00 or 35% of the gross reportable amount. For returns relating to gifts, the penalty is 5% of the gift per month to a maximum penalty of 25% of the gift.
Failure to file Form 5471, Information Return of U.S. Persons with Respect to Certain Foreign Corporations:

If there is reasonable cause for the failure and the balance in the account is properly reported, no penalty will be imposed. A person who willfully fails to report an account or account identifying information may be subject to a civil monetary penalty equal to the greater of $100,000 (indexed for inflation) or 50 percent of the balance in the account at the time of the violation.

IRC 6114 generally requires that if a taxpayer takes a position that any treaty of the U.S. overrules or modifies any provision of the Code, the taxpayer must disclose the position. A taxpayer meets the disclosure requirement by attaching Form 8833, appropriate successor form to his or her timely filed tax return (including extensions)
Military on Active Duty
Are Active Duty in the Army subject to Ohio individual income tax and school district income tax? Would the answer be any different if I were serving in the National Guard or the Reserves?
Yes: Ohio individual income tax applies to all military servicemembers of the active and National Guard or reserve components who are residents of Ohio and are stationed inside the state. School district income tax also applies if the service member’s domicile is within a school district that imposes the tax, even if the service member did not reside in the school district at any time during the taxable year.
Law Change for Taxable Years 2007 and Forward: You and all other service members, however, are affected by a change in law for taxable years beginning on and after Jan. 1, 2007. This law allows for the deduction of your military pay you receive for active duty service while you are stationed outside the state (see Resident Service Members Stationed Outside the State, below) if the military pay is included in your federal adjusted gross income. See division (A)(24) of Ohio Revised Code 5747.01. You must still file an Ohio individual income tax return in order to qualify for the deduction.
You are an Ohio resident if Ohio is indicated as your state of legal residence (e.g., home of record from where you entered the military) in your military personnel record, whether or not you spent any time in Ohio during the taxable year. For purposes of Ohio income taxes, if you are a member of the military and if Ohio is indicated in your military personnel record as your state of legal residence, then you are domiciled in Ohio. This status does not change unless a service member takes action to change it by submitting Department of Defense form DD-2058, and this change is approved by the military. The approved DD-2058 is then placed in the service member's military personnel record.
Filing information is available in the Ohio income tax publication which contains the Ohio School District income tax instructions and is available on the Tax Forms page.
Visit The Finder to locate a school district number by address.
You can calculate a resident tax credit if any of your income was taxed by another state. For information about the resident tax credit, see the instructions for the Ohio Schedule of Credits in the current Ohio income tax publication.

What if I've never filed taxes as an expat before or stopped filing my taxes?
Many U.S. citizens and green card holders as well as foreign nationals living abroad with U.S. tax filing requirements assume that they only have tax obligations to their current country of residence and overlook their U.S. tax filing requirements. Even if taxes are not owed to the IRS or a state government, due to anticipated foreign tax credits or foreign earned income exclusions, expats are still required to file a U.S. tax return if their gross income exceeds the filing threshold amount for their filing status.
If you were unaware of your filing requirement, there is time to act. Our CPAs at Whin Global can help you decide on the best course of action for your unique situation. The IRS has a non-penalty disclosure program, IRS Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures, currently available to Americans abroad or living in the US who have overlooked their filing obligations and never filed taxes or stopped filing their taxes. Get in touch with a CPA at Whin Global if you have any questions.
Are American Expats Required To File US Taxes?
Are American expats required to file US and State Tax Returns?
Even if you are a permanent resident or citizen of a foreign country, if you remain a U.S. citizen or greencard holder who works/lives abroad, you are still required to file your U.S. tax returns and report your worldwide income, if you meet the filing threshold (see the FAQs on the US tax filing requirements).
However, certain rules and benefits are available to expats, like the foreign earned income exclusion, foreign tax credit.
As an American expat, you may also still owe state taxes. This depends on the state you lived in prior to moving abroad as the tax residency rules vary by each state. Many states will also allow the foreign earned income exclusion, which can affect your taxable income. But some states do not allow the FEIE or FTC or both.
Consulting with an expat tax expert can help you determine if you are still required to file a state income tax return or not.
If you’ve been living abroad for a while and you were unwilfully unaware of your U.S. and state tax obligations, stop and don’t panic. Take a deep breath. Whin Global has assisted U.S. taxpayers by filing many tax returns worldwide, including taxpayers residing in multiples countries.

Foreign Tax Credit
What is Foreign Tax Credit?
The foreign tax credit intends to mitigate some or all of the double tax burden that would otherwise arise when foreign source income is taxed by both the United States and the foreign country from which the income is derived.
How do I qualify to take the foreign tax credit?
The foreign tax must meet four tests to qualify for the credit:
- The tax must be a legal and actual foreign tax liability
- The tax must be imposed on you
- You must have paid or accrued the tax, and
- The tax must be an income tax (or a tax in lieu of an income tax)
How do I claim a foreign tax credit?

File Form 1116, Foreign Tax Credit, to claim the foreign tax credit if you are an individual, estate or trust, and you paid or accrued certain foreign taxes to a foreign country or U.S. possession.
Corporations file Form 1118, Foreign Tax Credit—Corporations, to claim a foreign tax credit.
Is there a reduction in Total Foreign Taxes Available for Credit?
