US Tax System
The US government uses a worldwide tax system. That means that US citizens, residents, and corporations headquartered in the United States must pay taxes on all its income, capital gain, interest, investment returns, regardless of whether it is earned in the United States or overseas.
Escrow Companies
Non-US citizens who have invested in the United States including property rents, share interests and investment returns, also need to pay US taxes. Financial institutes and escrow companies always withhold 30% of the lump sum for tax payments. After tax payments are made, investors need to file US tax returns to get back their remaining gains.
Ponzi Schemes
Financial frauds of Ponzi Schemes cause losses to investors. Financial institutes withhold 30% as a lump sum for US tax payments. Non-US citizens need to pay tax to the US Internal Revenue Service before they receive the capital and remaining profits. You must file a tax return to recoup the remaining money.
US government taxes the US citizens and residents not only on their US income but also on their worldwide income.
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), which was passed as part of the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act, requires that foreign financial Institutions and certain other non-financial foreign entities report on the foreign assets held by their US account holders or be subject to withholding on withholdable payments. The HIRE Act also contained legislation requiring US persons to report, depending on the value, their foreign financial accounts and foreign assets.
For all US tax filers, they are required to file the Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR) for their financial accounts located outside of the US.
The US person, including a citizen, resident, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust and estate, must file the FBAR, if the aggregate value of those foreign financial accounts exceeded US$10,000 at any time during the calendar year reported. You report the accounts by filing a FBAR on FinCEN Form 114.
