Epassporte wire has "gone out"

Epassporte is considered offshore, so you probably don't have to report income to IRS while it's not made in the US.

If you're a US citizen, I think you need to consult a good tax attorney because I believe you are in error. For example: http://www.bankrate.com/finance/taxe...count-tax.aspx

For anyone (not saying you are included in this) who did skirt the law blatantly I believe the IRS has a policy of no jailtime for those who voluntarily try to fix the problem and disclose things voluntarily. So IOW, if you were to see an attorney pronto and deal with the IRS before they come after you, you might stay out of jail. But if you wait you might be screwed if they decide to play hardball and come after you criminally (Sort of like Wesley Snipes). I hope this helps someone.

Thanks for the advice signupdamnit... I am not a US citizen, but I thought tax law might be the same in some aspects... Anyway, thanks for information.

What they care about, and that is good for both US and Canada, is where your activities are. You are free to earn money offshore and keep it offshore but you must be able to prove you were physically offshore as well when you earned it. Working in the US but cashing out of the US isn't good enough...

Of course some are shaving the law, some think that doing your company AGM once a year offshore is enough to pretend activities are done over there but I think if they start an audit on you and find this out it will become a nightmare. I prefer to sleep well at night

this is a good thread potentially...cant wait to hear back

**SleepWalker** · 09-10-2010, 03:35 PM

WOW!!!

Have a look at what just showed up on my statement!!

10 Sep 2010 Wire Transfer Fee $-50.00 $X.XX
10 Sep 2010 Wire Transfer $-X.XX $X.XX

( of course I replaced actual amounts with those X.XX )

I'll wait till a actually see it in my bank account to celebrate but I think I'll start drinking to that right now!

I sent my request last Friday around 11:00 AM EST. This wasn't my first wire, I was doing one once or twice a month so I was all verified already. Don't know how much it helped.

glad to hear wires are going out guys....

That can mean that situation with VISA cards won't be resolved soon...

I know, but what I was told by one of ePassporte account representatives is that the wires will start going out once the problem is solved... since it's still not resolved, that means they started sending wires knowing that it won't be resolved soon and they don't want to put their customers on more anticipation and stress. At least those who had money in their wallets. For us others there is no solution yet.

This is the form I've used:
linkmypdf.com/pdf/18a2f/28f1dc01/

I filled it and I emailed it to the email on top + I CC'd my acc rep. Note that I have a biz account. I don't know if the form is different for personal accounts. I guess not.
