FBAR Filing for US Expats

Our FBAR filing service helps you report your foreign financial accounts with confidence through a simple, secure, and efficient process.

  • Accurate and timely FBAR filing to help you meet your foreign account reporting requirements and avoid potential penalties.

  • Work with experienced expat tax professionals who specialize in foreign account reporting.

  • Secure online process keeps your financial information protected throughout your FinCEN Form 114 filing.

What is an FBAR?

The FBAR (Foreign Bank Account Report), officially known as FinCEN Form 114, is a required filing for US persons who have foreign financial accounts totaling more than $10,000 at any point during the year. It’s submitted electronically to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), separate from your tax return.

Even if your foreign accounts do not earn any income, the FBAR must still be filed if the balance threshold is met. Failure to file can result in significant penalties, making accurate and timely filing essential.

Who Needs to File an FBAR?

You are required to file an FBAR if:

  • You are a US citizen, Green Card holder, or resident alien, including those living abroad.

  • You had foreign bank accounts, such as checking, savings, investment, or pension accounts, with a combined value exceeding $10,000 at any time during the calendar year.

  • You have signing authority or joint ownership of a foreign account, even if the funds aren’t yours.

This includes accounts held in:

  • Foreign banks or financial institutions

  • Brokerage or investment accounts abroad

  • Pension or retirement accounts

  • Business accounts you control or co-own
