Taxpayers with Swiss Bank Accounts Beware

 There are numerous articles about the failure by taxpayers to disclose hidden offshore accounts.  These articles appear intimidating while also appearing to offer relief for voluntary disclosure of offshore accounts through amnesty programs.

 Amnesty programs usually do not mean immunity from prosecution.  Generally amnesty programs are only applicable to civil issues and not criminal issues.

The following is an example of an article discussing offshore accounts and amnesty for voluntary disclosure.
