FBAR (FinCEN 114) filing

The annual foreign bank account report for U.S. persons whose foreign accounts crossed the $10,000 mark at any point in the year — filed correctly and on time.

FBAR (FinCEN 114)

Who has to file an FBAR?

Any U.S. person — citizen, resident, or green-card holder — whose foreign financial accounts together exceeded $10,000 at any time during the year must file FinCEN Form 114 (the FBAR). It is separate from your income tax return and is filed through the FinCEN BSA E-Filing system.

The FBAR is an information report, not a tax — but the penalties for not filing are steep, so it should be filed on time whenever the threshold is crossed.

Note: the FBAR applies to U.S. persons, not to non-resident (NRA) owners of U.S. LLCs. If you are unsure whether it applies to you, we will tell you plainly.

FAQ
