The Swiss are at it again!

Another twist in the ongoing drama between the U.S. and Swiss government over the Swiss id's of U.S. account holders at mega-bank UBS.

The word on the street is that another Swiss banker is in the process of disclosing information concerning offshore accounts.

U.S. taxpayers with accounts in foreign banks have only 1 week left (January 15, 2010) to make a complete voluntary disclosure of their accounts to the IRS or risk facing increased monetary penalties.

Many accounting firms are not using or are improperly utilizing Kovel letters to protect their client’s interests in offshore voluntary disclosures.
