Reporting of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts on the Electronic FBAR

Overview:

For U.S. citizens and Green Card holders living outside of the U.S., there is more to worry about than simply filing your tax return. With the implementation of FATCA and the intergovernmental agreements, U.S. filers have had their foreign investments exposed. The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), enacted to target noncompliance by U.S. taxpayers with certain foreign financial accounts and offshore assets, requires U.S. citizens and residents who own certain foreign financial accounts and offshore assets to report those accounts and assets on Form 8938. This course will discuss the proper reporting of FBARs, FATCA regulations, and other tax filer issues with international investments.

This webinar will be an introduction to the FBAR and the FBAR filing requirements established by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCen). Not only will participants leave with an understanding of what the FBAR is but they will know when their client is required to file. There will also be an overview of the BSA e-filing system that is used to submit the FBAR because the form is not filed with the tax return.

· Why the FBAR is filed.
