Estimated Tax Payments — FBAR filing for offshore accounts

Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.
