What Are Your FBAR Obligations?
FBAR stands for “Foreign Bank Account Report,” and refers to FinCen Form 114, Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts.
FBAR added new obligations for some U.S. taxpayers who have ownership or control (for example signature authority) of foreign accounts with an aggregate value of over $10,000 in the calendar year: typically, taxpayers in that situation might have an FBAR filing required.
If you’re uncertain about how the disclosure requirements apply, we can help you identify your options and make a decision on the best course of action going forward.
How The IRS Investigates FBAR Violations Which Lead to FBAR Penalties
After a foreign bank reports the non-compliant taxpayer’s account information to the foreign taxing authority, the information is then provided to the U.S. Dept Treasury. For those countries without intergovernmental agreements (IGAs), the account holder’s information will be sent directly to the U.S. Dept of Treasury. Or the IRS may have discovered the non-compliance based on stated or implied sources of foreign income on filed tax returns or information forms. Regardless of how the IRS obtains the information, what could follow is an investigation by an IRS examiner of the potential FBAR violation(s).
FBAR violations lead to civil and/or criminal penalties. The monetary penalty may not exceed $10,000 per violation; however, where the violation is willful, the penalty is the greater of $100,000 or 50% of the balance in the account on the date of the violation.
