FBAR Filing

Today is April 16, 2014 and the 2013 filing season is now behind us.  Some of us filed on time and others are on extension until October 15.  So all of us have temporarily forgotten about our tax filings for a while.  But there is another filing deadline creeping up on June 30.  That is the deadline for reporting foreign accounts aggregating at least $10,000.  For many years, filing an information return to report foreign accounts was done on a paper return called a TD F 90-22.1.  This form no longer exists.  Now that form can only be filed electronically.  It is form 114 and it is filed with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) of the Treasury Department.  Get started at http://bsaefiling.fincen.treas.gov.  Happy filing.
