And For Those Who Are Not Among The 14,700 Who Came Forward, But Should Have: The IRS Is Looking For You

In conjunction with the federal government’s announcement that more than 14,700 taxpayers voluntarily came forward after the government reached a settlement in August with UBS, we also should note that the IRS today explained what criteria UBS is using to turn over names to the U.S. government. 

You can read the New York Times story explaining the criteria here: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/18/business/global/18irs.html?hp.

Interestingly, the Times quotes the head of the IRS, Douglas Shulman, as saying, "We are talking about billions of dollars coming in to the U.S. Treasury.” 

That money is going to come from somebody's pockets!
