Sean M. Golding

After 20+ years of marriage I became aware of FBAR. Prior to that time I never bothered my husband about money that was his before we were married. In fact I never really care about it. But the IRS did. And when we found out, oh oh. When we realized the situation we were in we hired an attorn...ey. Sadly this person sat on our case and our money for over 6 months. To the point that we had to pay an extra year penalty. When I finally realized this first attorney was never going to do anything (even though he took our money) I searched Google yet again. I was determined to find somebody to help us. I can only call it divine intervention that somehow I crossed paths with Mr. Golding's website. I filled out the contact form and waited. Mainly I was putting some feelers out. To my surprise Mr. Golding within hours contacted me. He walked me through how to fire the other guy and get my money back. Then he proceeded to handle our case with unbelievable efficiency. I mean EFFICIENT. A to B. He phoned, texted and emailed us every step of the way. Even when my husband forgot two accounts and we had to do some of paperwork over again he was still incredibly efficient. In the beginning I thought 'man, this guy gonna think he's working with a crazy lady' but every time I had a panic attack he calmed me. Then I realized probably most of the people he works with are in a similar panic like me. If this is you and you need help with FBAR/Streamline RUN to Mr. Golding. You will not find an attorney who is more professional, courteous, and efficient. We are so lucky to have found him. I am particularly grateful because the severe anxiety I had been experiencing is now being lifted from me.

There was one investment not reported for three years and my tax account, a big 5 firm, told me that they could not help except for huge $$$ and that I was in big trouble facing massive fines and maybe jail time. I contacted Sean and he replied within 24 hours. Sean told me about the streamlined pro...cess and that in my situation there would be no fine nor jail time. Sean always made time to answer my questions and address my concerns. Since I am in a time zone 8 hours from Sean he made time early morning and late in the evening his time to talk to me. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Golding if you have a problem with your taxes.

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

As a US citizen living abroad, I was confused with the complex IRS/FACTA requirements. The information available online was threatening and overwhelming. Following some investigation, I found Golding & Golding. Mr. Golding put my mind at ease even during the initial consultation and I felt confiden...t that he would be able to handle the case in the most efficient and professional manner. Throughout the process, Mr. Golding was very clear, concise and customer orientated. He was able to explain the requirements in simple terms, quickly and accurately assess the situation, and most importantly, gave me confidence that the proposed solution was the right one. I believe that through his experience with a wide range of international tax cases as well as his status as an earned agent, Mr. Golding has gained valuable expertise in the field that enables him to support international clients dealing with the IRS. He is very responsive and flexible, even when working with clients in different time zones. I would definitely recommend Golding & Golding for all similar cases.

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!
