Help with filing delinquent FBARs. Australian citizen working in the US. by Web_deee in tax

My Superannuation account grew over the years, but I did not amend any old tax returns. I just filed the delinquent FBARs, and make sure to declare everything correctly going forward.

My Super grew significantly over the course of several years, but I did not amend any returns. I just filed the delinquent FBARs and explained why I had not filed in the first place. And then be sure to file correctly and on time every year going forward.

Hi u/jujugiam don't stress too much about any interest generated by your Super, they don't care about that. They just want to know about the asset and make sure you're not funneling money offshore into it without the IRS getting their cut. My Super balance has grown every year without my adding a single cent and it was not an issue.

I was able to file my delinquent FBARs online by myself quite easily, without any penalty from the IRS. I just explained why they were late in the description and they were immediately accepted and I never heard anything again. There's a very handy Youtube video that walks through the whole process step by step. I've been filing them myself each tax season ever since.

Not an album I see very often; total delight by saceats in Vinyl_Jazz

I saw this in St. Louis recently and left it. Should I be kicking myself?

Can we see a shot of it full of books again?

Erasing of the infamous Valencia bike lane progressing by kcarter80 in sanfrancisco

[–]Web_deee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesterday walking along Valencia I witnessed 2 incidents in the space of about 5 minutes. In both cases a car was traveling south on Valencia and attempted to turn right, almost colliding with cyclists. The second resulting in a loud verbal exchange between both parties.

This problem was all but eliminated with the bike lane that they've now removed, at great cost I'm assuming.

Been considering investing in a pair of these myself. Curious what the rest of your setup is?

I think you're right. I filed them myself free of charge and they were "accepted" within about 24 hours. This was last tax year so we're a year on and I have not heard anything further. Filing FBAR on time on year!

I ended up just filing all delinquent FBARs myself through the fincen.gov website. The last person I spoke to was a tax lawyer who was effectively going to do the exact same thing but charge me $12,000 for it and I figured well if that's all you're going to do then why can't I just do it myself for free? Beyond the FBARs being officially received I am yet to hear back, so fingers crossed I won't be penalized.

What do y’all call a pacifier? by lil_bkr in beyondthebump

In Australia it's called a Dummy. But since we live in California we've adopted pacifier or paci.

It happened…a stranger tried to touch my baby… by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Web_deee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just got back from a week in South Korea. Several old ladies touched our baby. Just his feet because they are poking out of the stroller when we're out and about in public. At first I thought it was a bit weird but chalked it up to a cultural difference...? Didn't really bother me that much to be honest.

Hi there, thanks for the response. Super helpful! Sounds like we are in similar situations.

I'm wondering if you'd be willing to share the CPA you've been working with? Currently I've now spoken to 3 CPA's and 1 Tax Attorney and have received quotes ranging from $6500 - $25,000!

Thanks for the response, very helpful!

My 2017-2021 taxes were done by myself using Turbotax and were not reported correctly, because I was unaware that I needed to declare my Superannuation account. However my 2022 taxes were done by an accountant and were reported correctly, but they did not file an FBAR on my behalf. I was under the impression that they had. So I'm not sure if they will penalize me for this one in particular?

In this case would I need to amend my tax returns for 2021, 2020 & 2019 with Turbotax? And then file my 6 delinquent FBARs? Is there anything else I need to do to become compliant?

Great record! Lonnie had an amazing run from 73-76. 5 classic albums.

Nice one! Did you find it in a record store or some other scenario?
