OVDP Penalty & the IRS

OVDP Penalty: The OVDP Penalty calculation framework has changed over the past year. The IRS developed OVDP in 2009 (aka OVDI). The program was in response to the pursuit of offshore tax havens, and facilitating Switzerland FFIs to enter into deferred prosecution agreements.

OVDP provided taxpayers with a safe opportunity to get into offshore compliance for unreported offshore accounts, assets, investments and income. Then in mid-2018, the Internal Revenue Service abruptly, gave notice that it was closing the OVDP program.
