Do I need to report my foreign bank accounts?

If your foreign accounts exceeded $10,000 in aggregate at any time during the year, you must file an FBAR. This includes accounts in Arab countries where you may have retained ties.

What if I did not know about FBAR requirements?

Non-willful failure to file qualifies for the Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures with significantly reduced penalties. We help you certify non-willfulness appropriately.

What are the FBAR penalties?

Non-willful penalties can reach $10,000 per account per year. Willful penalties can be the greater of $100,000 or 50% of the account balance per year. Criminal prosecution is also possible for willful violations.

What is the difference between FBAR and FATCA?

FBAR (FinCEN 114) is filed separately and reports foreign accounts over $10,000. FATCA (Form 8938) is filed with your tax return and has higher thresholds. You may need to file both.

I have accounts in Lebanon/Jordan/UAE - are these reportable?

Yes, accounts in any foreign country including all Arab countries are reportable if they meet the thresholds. This includes checking, savings, investment accounts, and some pension plans.

What is the streamlined filing procedure?

A program for non-willful failures allowing you to file 3 years of amended returns and 6 years of FBARs with a 5% penalty on foreign assets (domestic filers) or no penalty (for qualifying expats).
