How To Get Started
Financial Records
If you have a foreign investment account, bank account, or pension plan, it's important to have the actual foreign bank statements, retirement accounts, and investment accounts in case you have FBAR and/or FATCA obligations
Documents
Tax documents include everything from Form W2 to foreign income tax returns. It is important to make sure the digital documents are legible once it has been expanded. Thumbnails can be blurry and that is not good when helping a client in a distant timezone.
File Formats
PDF, JPEG, and PNG are preferred. Sentinel doesn't accept EXE files or live links in email. For security purposes, the client portal is mandatory.
