IRS Announces Opening of FATCA Online Registration System

The Internal Revenue Service in late August announced the opening of its new online registration system for financial institutions that need to register with the IRS under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA).

Financial institutions that must register with the IRS to meet their FATCA obligations can now begin the process of registering by creating an account and providing required information, according to the IRS. Financial institutions will also be able to provide required information for their branches of operation and other members of their expanded affiliate groups in which the financial institution is the lead organization.
