International Tax Traps for U.S. Persons

This chapter of the Offshore Tax Manual is a brief description of the numerous tax code sections that give the IRS the legal power (within the U.S. court system) to assess taxes on U.S. persons with foreign investments, foreign trusts, foreign partnerships or foreign corporations. These are the code sections that most of the offshore promoters blithely ignore or are ignorant about.
