Golding & Golding | Attorneys at Law - Newport Beach, CA

Dedicated International Tax Representation in Newport Beach

Unreported foreign assets, overseas bank accounts, and complex cross-border revenue streams can expose taxpayers to severe civil penalties or potential criminal prosecution by federal tax authorities. Headquartered in Newport Beach at 250 Newport Center Drive, Golding and Golding provides comprehensive, all-inclusive legal defense for individuals, estates, and multinational enterprises facing international tax scrutiny. Led by attorney Sean M. Golding, a recognized California Board-Certified Tax Law Specialist, the firm has guided thousands of clients across more than eighty countries through the intricacies of global compliance and amnesty submissions.

Strategic Offshore Voluntary Disclosure and Penalty Mitigation

When international taxpayers uncover unfiled accounts or errors on past returns, they often need a lawyer urgently to step in before the government initiates a formal examination. Working as elite tax lawyers and irs dispute lawyers, the legal team delivers integrated legal and accounting solutions entirely in-house. Rather than juggling separate accountants and litigation counsel, clients receive unified case management covering both substantive legal analysis and the actual preparation of amended tax returns under one transparent pricing model.

Core areas of offshore defense and compliance include:

• Assisting non-willful taxpayers through the Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures and Streamlined Domestic Offshore Procedures to avoid crushing penalties.
• Navigating formal IRS Voluntary Disclosure Practice submissions for taxpayers with potential willful exposure to resolve matters safely and avoid criminal tax fraud prosecution.
• Delinquent FBAR submission procedures and Delinquent International Information Return Procedures for taxpayers with full tax compliance but omitted informational forms.
• Resolving extensive Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts reporting failures under FinCEN Form 114 to prevent catastrophic statutory fines.
• Advising expatriating individuals on long-term tax planning, covered expatriate status analysis, and IRS Form 8854 exit tax obligations.
• Filing and rectifying Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act disclosures on Form 8938 along with foreign trust reports on Form 3520 and Form 3520-A.
• Analyzing complex Passive Foreign Investment Company investments on Form 8621 and structuring foreign pension reporting under applicable bilateral tax treaties.

Recognized Authority in Cross-Border Tax Law
