For those of you who may be unaware, an article written by Tax Consultant Gary Carter regarding personal experience helping a client with Form 3520 – A is having an impact.  Recently, I was copied on email from a powerful group who is paying attention. Although I am not at liberty to name the group at this time (I requested permission), an important fact to know is with the help of CPA Gary Carter and Lawyer John Richardson we are gaining attention and traction behind the scenes.

It all started with the letter written by member Gary Carter who wrote an article titled Foreign Trusts: IRS Penalty Notices For Late Forms 3520-A Traumatize Many Innocent Taxpayers. The purpose of my post today is to share some of the stories that have followed from this original article and to call out all tax professionals and taxpayers to help by sharing their experiences with us.

Here are the responses we have received and we encourage you to add your stories to the list so we can get help for all of you.
