FBAR · FinCEN 114
Required if your foreign accounts totaled over $10,000 at any point in the year. Filed with FinCEN, separately from your tax return.
Foreign account reporting
FBAR & FATCA, handled.
If your foreign accounts crossed the thresholds, the US wants to know — on two different forms, with steep penalties for getting it wrong. We file both correctly so you can stop worrying about them.
§ The two filings
FBAR and FATCA — they're different.
FATCA · Form 8938
Required above higher thresholds that depend on filing status and where you live. Filed with your 1040. Many expats need both.
§ What counts
More than just bank accounts.
Checking and savings, yes — but also foreign pensions, brokerage accounts, certain insurance, and accounts you only have signature authority over. We inventory everything so nothing gets missed, then file on time.
