Our FBAR filing service handles the process from reviewing your foreign accounts to electronically filing FinCEN Form 114. Here’s what’s included:
We review your foreign financial accounts and determine which need to be reported.
We identify each account’s maximum balance and convert it to US dollars using the correct FBAR exchange rate from the Treasury.
Our expat tax professionals prepare your FinCEN Form 114 using the account information you provide.
We handle the electronic filing with FinCEN and provide confirmation once your FBAR is submitted.
If you have unfiled FBARs from previous years, we review your situation and recommend the right way to catch up before anything is filed.
Pricing is shared up front, and you only pay once your FBAR is prepared and you have reviewed the draft.
Includes up to 4 foreign financial accounts. Additional accounts are priced based on how many need to be reported.
Includes your US federal return and FBAR filing. The US expat tax return package also covers Schedule C, K-1 and one state return if required.
Final pricing depends on the number of accounts and any other foreign reporting you need, such as Form 8938 or PFIC reporting.
Whether you need this year’s FBAR, have missed prior years, or are not sure you need to file, Universal Tax Professionals can help. Your dedicated accountant will review your accounts, prepare your FinCEN Form 114, and file it electronically with FinCEN.
Most Americans abroad need to file an FBAR if all of the points below apply. Even accounts that earn no income count toward the $10,000 threshold.
