You may fit into the Streamlined Procedure which requires only 3 years of returns and 6 years of FBARs. There is information on the IRS site with a checklist to determine if you are a low risk applicant. Otherwise the voluntary disclosure procedure requires additional returns and a voluntary disclosure penalty as opposed to penalties on tax payable and non-filing of certain information returns/forms.

I work with an international attorney that specializes in qualifying for the OVDP. And since the penalties for not filing include $10,000 per account per year not reported and/or JAIL time. I recommend to obtain a competent international attorney to assist you. If you would like me to put you two in contact, send me an e-mail - Chuck.Heyde@GEMMS.us
