New Trend of Americans Wishing to Hold Foreign Assets Without IRS Reporting Turning to Solo 401(k) Plan & Self-Directed IRA, According to IRA Financial Group Attorney

Miami, FL (PRWEB) August 16, 2013

IRA Financial Group, the leading provider of self-directed IRA and Solo 401(k) Plans, has seen a surge an interest for the self-directed IRA and Solo 401(k) product as a vehicle to hold assets outside of the United States without triggering any U.S. reporting requirements. The main trigger for cutting ties with U.S., several lawyers say, is the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or Fatca, which requires foreign institutions to disclose the overseas assets of U.S. green-card holders and citizens to the U.S. government. The main objective of Fatca is to identify people who may be evading taxes through offshore investment vehicles.

U.S. citizens, U.S. individual residents, and a very limited number of nonresident individuals who own certain foreign financial accounts or other offshore assets must report those assets using IRS Form 8938. In general, taxpayers with a total value of specified foreign financial assets below a certain threshold do not have to file Form 8938. If the total value is at or below $ 50,000 at the end of the tax year, there is no reporting requirement for the year, unless the total value was more than $ 75,000 at any time during the tax year. It is important to remember that the new Form 8938 filing requirement does not replace or otherwise affect a taxpayers obligation to file Form TD F 90-22.1 (Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts), stated Adam Bergman, an in-house tax attorney with the IRA Financial Group. According to Mr. Bergman, individuals must file each form for which they meet the relevant reporting threshold.

According to Mr. Bergman, when using retirement funds to make foreign investments, either via a self-directed IRA or a qualified retirement plan, such as a Solo 401(k) Plan, the IRS under the FBAR rules and IRS Form 8938 exempt retirement accounts from such filings. As a result of the very stringent foreign bank account filing requirements, there has strong interest in U.S. persons wishing to hold assets outside the U.S.

IRA Financial Groups Self-Directed IRA and Solo 401(k) Plan are perfect vehicles for U.S. retirement investors looking to self-direct their retirement funds and make traditional as well as non-traditional investments tax-free. We have seen an surge in demand from clients looking to hold assets outside the U.S. and not be bogged down with very complex filing requirements, stated Mr. Bergman.
