After months of struggle, we finally can breath more easy now, looking back, we have been blessed with Mr. Golding's help from the beginning of journey of international tax work. We were not sure what we were dealing at the beginning and we were looking for professionals to help us, we talked to s...everal law firms, some of them can help but had not time and patience for us, others assured us that they can help but seemed vague with what they may be doing. We found Mr. Golding's website with tons of valuable information, the information was clear, relevant, and trustworthy, we talk to Mr. Golding and, we liked his calmness and understanding, he sounded professional and sympathetic, he didn't give us false hope but realistic options. we decided to work with him. During the months that we worked together, Mr. Golding responded promptly to our inquires, he provided very clear guidance and warm assurance, we felt that we were well supported by him and his staff. It seemed that we have done the right thing and we are now with peace of mind, we highly appreciated Mr. Golding's assistance and would highly recommend his service to anyone who may need international tax services.

Having left the US over two decades ago, I was unaware of my filing obligations both in terms of income tax and FATCA and that I was unintentionally non-compliant. Have realised that I should have been filing, I started doing research on the internet on how to get back into compliance. Many of th...e websites that I saw from various 'advisors' suggested that I was going to be heavily fined and possibly convicted. When I found Golding & Golding's website, it was full of helpful information about the steps required to get back into compliance and the options available. I then contacted Sean who explained very clearly what my obligations were, how to rectify the situation and any potential liability I might have. He put my mind to rest on the potential downside of my situation. Sean and his team then quickly and efficiently processed all of the required filings and submitted them on my behalf. Although I did owe some money to the IRS, it was a fraction of what I had feared that it might be and now I can rest easy that I have met all my filing obligations. I can't thank Sean and his team enough for their advice and assistance.

Worried, confused and panicked about FATCA/FBAR with a letter from a bank stating that the IRS will be notified about an account that I’m only the “custodian” (elderly foreign national mother), I run some Google searches in order to get some direction of what to do. What I found were multiple website...s, all written in such a manner to scare the bejesus out of anyone in a stressful situation to begin with. In sharp contrast, Mr. Golding’s website provided only facts, examples and solutions. I knew from the very first conversation that I was dealing with a professional, that knew his job, was there to provide a service, at a reasonable price and not someone that was out to make some quick cash from people in distress. He explained everything patiently and in detail providing much needed reassurance that this was not the end of the world. The initial questionnaire was detailed, requesting specific information in order to proceed with filing all necessary papers in a precise and efficient manner. He or his staff responded to email questions in a timely manner making filing the questioner easy. The paperwork that he prepared was easy to review, organized with detailed instructions on what I was supposed to do next. My case is still pending but if you are looking for a competent attorney for international tax issues, you will be doing yourself a disservice if you don’t at least talk with Mr. Sean Golding. IGH

Both my wife's and my widowed 80+ years old foreign national mothers had added our names to their accounts in case they become disabled mentally and/or physically so that we could withdraw from their accounts and help them with all their needs . The money in those accounts were our parent's life sa...vings, not ours and we would never touch that money as long as our mothers are alive. But then we read a very scary news article on the internet about penalties on the undisclosed overseas accounts. We were very worried and did not know what to do until we browsed the internet and came across with Sean Golding's very knowledgeable postings about the overseas accounts including a posting exactly described our situation. We were willing to pay the penalty for the streamlined process and very concerned about severe penalties for OVDP, however Sean explained to us that a reasonable cause exists since this is not our money and we had no other choice but have our names in the accounts to help our old mothers. Sean knew everything about the international tax law and provided us excellent help and guidance when we were obtaining all the information that was needed, He was very precise and clear when responding to our questions. He would respond to our email messages and return our phone calls literally in minutes, and for most of our phone calls, his office would connect us to him right away. The paperwork that he prepared for our case was very organized, neat and very easy to review. Any one looking for a competent attorney for international tax issues, without any doubt Sean is the one!
