Got questions? Schedule a FREE discovery call with my team: https://gojamesbakercpa.com/47ehP7q The IRS is shrinking—but that doesn’t mean you can ignore your U.S. tax obligations. In this video, I explain what the recent IRS layoffs, budget cuts, and staffing shortages mean for non-U.S. residents who own U.S. LLCs, invest in U.S. markets, earn income from U.S. clients, or file U.S. tax returns. Many people assume a smaller IRS means less enforcement. In reality, it often means slower processing, more automated penalties, longer delays, and a much harder time resolving problems when they happen. We'll cover: ✅ IRS layoffs and budget cuts in 2026 ✅ Why non-residents still need to file correctly and on time ✅ Form 5472 penalties and filing risks ✅ EIN and ITIN processing updates ✅ Automated IRS notices and penalties ✅ Delayed tax refunds and withheld funds ✅ Estate tax risks for foreign investors ✅ How to avoid costly IRS issues before they start If you're a non-U.S. resident with a U.S. LLC, corporation, partnership, brokerage account, rental property, or other U.S. investments, this is important information you need to know.
