Choose the years
Explicitly select three return years and six FBAR years. The coordinator does not choose them or determine whether the Streamlined procedure fits your facts.

Coordinate the years before you file.
Select three return-year workspaces, six years of FBAR account data, and keep your factual Form 14653 preparation notes together. Atamatax does not determine eligibility or non-willfulness and does not submit the result.
Preparation only · No eligibility decision · No IRS or FinCEN submission
How it works
Build a preparation map in three steps.
Prepare each year
Open the existing annual flows for return data and foreign accounts. The coordinator reports preparation progress without calling any item filed or accepted.
Review the preparation set
Review each annual workspace and your factual Form 14653 notes. Eligibility decisions, signatures, and submissions remain outside this workspace.
Where we're honest with you
The limits — stated plainly.
No eligibility decision
The workspace does not decide whether the procedure applies to you. The educational questionnaire is not an eligibility determination.
No willfulness conclusion
Form 14653 notes are facts you write for preparation. Atamatax does not determine non-willfulness or turn those notes into a signed certification.
No filing or blanket purchase
The workspace submits nothing to the IRS or FinCEN. It also does not unlock all years; each annual package keeps its existing payment gate.
This is general information, not tax or legal advice. The Form 14653 certification is signed under penalty of perjury and willfulness is a legal judgment — get a professional opinion if your facts are near the line.

Streamlined filing · FAQ
Honest answers before you start.
- Does Atamatax decide whether I qualify for Streamlined?
- No. The educational questionnaire can help you review questions that may matter, but neither it nor this workspace determines eligibility. The workspace only coordinates the years and preparation inputs you select.
- Does the Form 14653 notes area determine non-willfulness?
- No. It stores user-authored factual preparation notes only. It does not reach a legal conclusion, complete a signed certification, or replace professional review of that question.
- Does this workspace file returns or FBARs?
- No. Atamatax does not submit a Streamlined return to the IRS or an FBAR to FinCEN from this workspace. A preparation status such as accounts entered or inputs confirmed is never a filing acknowledgement.
- Does creating a plan purchase all nine year-items?
- No. There is currently no separate Streamlined checkout or all-years entitlement in this workspace. Saving a plan is not a purchase, and existing package/payment gates remain separate for each annual return workspace.
- What does the workspace actually track?
- It stores the three return years and six FBAR years you explicitly select, shows preparation-only status from the existing annual data, and stores your factual Form 14653 notes and their drafting status.
