Nelsona Appreciation Society

Post by wtfirs »

I've just completed six years of back taxes and FBARs and wanted to extend my thanks to Nelsona for his/her contribution to this forum. I don't know who you are or what your interest in this is, but your input has been extremely valuable - in fact, one of the very few bright spots in this unpleasant ordeal.

Thanks.

To 2006, but do not take that as an educated opinion on what to do. Flying by the seat of my pants here.

Today IRS announced new rules in general 6 years back filing of FBAR and 3 years 1040 for those who have not complied and owe little or no tax, it seems Nelsona had it right on the button now ITS is making this policy.

Does this mean one only need to backfill 3 years of 8891 + 1040X?

If you owe no tax, yes. Otherwise 6 years.
After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best
