Thank you for this video! You made everything easy to understand and whole process of filing less daunting. Save me a bunch from hiring another person to do this so much thanks!!
Fantastic video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 very straight to the point and well explained into details, you helped me a lot because I was totally lost but after watching this I’m super confident 💪
@@FinanciallyAware submitted! I'm happy and it almost seemed too easy. I should have been doing this myself for the last 10 years. I know next year will be even faster.
Great video! Just started trading cryptocurrency and was considering using a foreign exchange so I'm glad that I checked this out before I invested any money!
@@FinanciallyAware one thing (I think you mentioned) was not including UK Company and Personal Pensions - everywhere else I've read, they should be included before and after it kicks in
Thanks for the Video Nick, very easy and simple to follow steps. Could you elaborate something on Part 1 Filer Information *2 If you have an LLC (single owned and managed) that operates a business account outside the US. Is that considered Individual or Corporation?
First, I appreciate your providing this video. Much useful! Second, how does one find an accountant who knows about FBAR and how to keep a foreign account for use by a normal person staying for a while such as going to Ontario for a Summer as a senior citizen who wants to avoid the summer heat such as in Texas?
I can't help with finding an accountant. You can open a foreign account in Canada without needing to file FBAR as long as your accounts are under $10,000 in total.
Yes, it is confusing. I think if you are only an advisor and have no financial interest in the funds, then you are not required to file. Otherwise every foreign bank and brokerage with US citizen money would have to file FBAR for each client.
Thank you so much for this video. Subscribed! Super helpful and it is people like you who genuinely help who make TH-cam and the world a better place. I'm doing this late I think but still better than never (under streamlined process though). Was wondering if you have a video on just doing the US taxes form 1040 (also Forms 3520, 5471) too or better yet streamline process? Also, If it's a joint bank account with spouse who isn't American, do we add up the totals of both accounts and put the number there once or do we add up each account (say my wife has a joint account with me and I have a joint account with her but only one of us is American) so it's done twice or just once totaling both accounts at 18:18?
7:45 does not make sense at all. Because, all these accounts total did not exceed $10,000 any day in the calendar year. Is there a reference to prove this scenario?
Love the video :) You mentioned that according to FinCEN Notice 2020-2, cryptos on foreign exchanges are not reportable but may be in the future. Now that a year has passed, has anything changed? I help crypto on a foreign exchange in 2021 and need to know if an FBAR is required :/. Thank you thank you!
This is my first year having to file for something like this and this video makes it look a little less daunting. I was wondering if my wife has a savings account that I don't have access to (I trust her lol) if that counts towards our otherwise joint Canadian bank account?
Hi Nick, thanks for this fantastic explanation. I'm off to try to make the April 15 "deadline." I do have two questions to run by you for your input (ps. I know you're not a CPA or tax attorney, I'm just curious for your opinion.) 1. In what case would you choose "other" for account type? 2. What if I really can't figure out what the high water mark was in an account? I know it must have been around December, but I didn't keep a record of daily values. Thanks!
I don't know about the "other" account. If you don't know the high water mark then estimate it on the high side. If you had $20,000 at the beginning of 2020 and at the end of 2020 you had $22,000, then use the $22,000 unless you know that the high water mark was much higher sometime during the year like $25,000 or something. Just look at the monthly statements and apply the yearly exchange to the highest amount on any of your statements.
Thank you for the video. Can you please help me with one question. I am USA citizen, and I let my government pension (AFP), from my original country, in Central America. This year 2021 they open a new law, that the people who we are resident or citizens in other country, we can get the lump sum of our pension. So this is my question: If my lump sum pension was over $10k and where transfer to a USA Bank, do I have to report this foreign lump sump pension?
Good question. I am not an expert, but the way I understand it is that while the pension is in control of your government, you do not have to report FBAR. If the government now gives you a lump sum, you do not have to report unless they give it to you in a bank account outside the US. If they transfer it directly from them to you in your US bank account, you do not have to file FBAR. It doesn't hurt to email FinCEN to ask them anyway.
This amount $10,000 seems ridiculously low. Does anyone know what the reason for this might be? Are they seriously investigating a "financial crime" where the value is that low? If someone was a scammer and was working on financial crime why would they risk the consequences for some tiny amount. Kind of seems like people are getting paid to waste time.
It is very low. It is done so basically they can spy on everyone's accounts, and make it a hassle for people to have foreign accounts so that they keep their money in the US.
I want to say thank you for the video. As a first time filer it makes me less nervous about the whole thing. I do have a couple of questions if you could help me out. 1) I noticed that there is a box for maximum value unknown. Is this for if we do not know what the value of the account was at when it went over the high water mark, but we know that it went over? 2) How does a line of credit fit into (or not) an FBAR? If I owe money on the line of credit would it "lower" the value of my accounts? (Example, I owe $10000 on the line of credit, but have a savings account with $15000, does that mean my total value is only $5000?)
I'm glad you found it helpful. I don't know when you would use max value unknown. If you have a checking account at a bank, but also have a line of credit that you used $10,000 on, you still are required to report. It is the value in the account, not the net value including a credit line.
Hey nick, this video was really helpful. Thank you. Would you mind helping me one thing. Are we required to still report the foreign balances below $ 10k in the US return without filing form 114 ? I would really appreciate some help!!
I have a question. I have a checking (principal account) and two savings accounts within the same bank. Do I have to consider these three separately? Meaning do I have to declare three different accounts in Part II? Thanks you for your help!
Thanks a lot for putting up this video. Have a quick question. How do I file FBAR for year 2019? Do I need to select "Amended" checkbox if I am filing for previous years?
It is just a button to click on that says "sign form". Once you do that it gives you the option to save a copy as a pdf file. Open the pdf file and save it to your computer. I hope this helps.
Hi I have a foreign bank savings account that I opened in 2016 and the money that I have in that account is money I send from the United States since some of the money is refund from the IRS and some money that I have worked in the U.S should I report it to the IRS and fill out the FBAR? Also is the FBAR a separate documentation from the IRS?
FBAR and IRS are completely different. It does not matter where you earned the money, if you have more than $10,000 in your foreign accounts combined, you need to fill out FBAR.
@@FinanciallyAware Thank you for your response. One question so if for 3:years I had it under 10,000 than I don't have to report to FBAR? Have a blessed day!
Hi Nick, thank you for this video, I do have one question though. I live in Italy and I'm filing Part IV of the form, since me wife gave me power of attorney over her account (I'm not the owner of the account) and she is not a US citizen or a green card holder. MY QUESTION IS... is an obligation to write the "maximum account value" on the account or can I just click on "unknown value" box and it will be OK as long as i declare the account and not the amount
Unless it is a joint account with you, your wife is not required to file FBAR. I don't think you can just leave "unknown value" unless you really have no way of knowing the maximum value. It will probably raise more questions.
Thanks for the detailed info. Below are my question. I am working in the US, but my wife is a student here. Both of us hold individual bank accounts back in India. I know I have to file FBAR , but does that same applies to my wife as well? Her cumulative value of stocks in IND is more than 10000 USD ? Since I do not have legal authority over her accounts, does she need to file a separate fbar ? We have filed 2020 AY Tax return as married filing jointly. Please advice.
Video was very informative. Let’s say I have a rental property in Singapore and my monthly profit is $2k USD ($5k revenue - $3k expenses). Can I transfer the $2k profit to my US personal account every month to stay under the $10k watermark? I know I’d get taxed on the additional personal income but do I need to file the FBAR?
That sounds like it will work. Just make sure you don't go over the $10,000 while you are waiting to payout the expenses. The additional income is taxable already. It is just a matter if you were reporting it or not.
Hi Nick, that was so informative, thank you for this video. However I have a single question, what is gonna happen after I file? Will I be charged/ taxed for my assets overseas?
Thank you. I did an updated video for 2022: th-cam.com/video/0CRlqi3Uv9c/w-d-xo.html FBAR has nothing to do with taxes. Only the IRS is concerned with taxes. There are no taxes on assets, only on actual gains, interest, and dividends received during the year.
Thank you for the video. I am a dual U.S citizen but I have never lived or worked in the U.S. I only have one bank account overseas (France) where I have all my savings from my wage. The value goes above $10k but I was wondering, should I still have to file Fbars even if its a bank account with only savings from my salary? Thank you for your help!
Thank you Nick, this was very informative and easy to follow. I just wanted to clarify one thing: So let's say a British expat living in the US has an employer pension from the past which the person has no control over and has not deposited any money into. They only receive an annual statement showing the pension value. Even if that value goes above $10k, the person isn't required to file the FBAR, is this correct?
I don't understand why you would get a pension value statement. In the US, a pension is a set amount paid to you every month. There is no value that you can direct into other investments or leave in your will like an IRA or 401K. If you can not take out this "pension value" and redirect it by you into other investments, then it sounds like it is not reportable. I am not a CPA or tax lawyer, so you might want to consult them to make sure because the penalties for not filing can be severe.
Hello Nick! I have a question about one life Insurance policy that I have with ICICI Bank in India. It worth's about $9680.95 at the end of policy when it matures after 10 years. Should I declare it on fbar or form 8938? appreciate your help! Thanks
Hi i am a us citizen and came to uk in july 2019 and by the end of that year i had more than 10000 us dollar in my account, but i didnt know i had to report my foreign account, but did file my tax from usa for that year, if I report it now will they penalize me?
Very enlightening,thank you. Just one question..If I moved money to other country on January 2021,do I have to report it in the same year 2021 or before April 15,2022?
Thank you Nick for your useful and simple video.... QUESTION: I’m a Canadian Citizen and have been continuously legally living and working in US since 2017. I have filled my taxes in US but did not file FBAR the last 3 years since I didn’t know I have to report my RRSP & TFSA which both are above $10k and no contribution was made the last 5 years. Based on your video I will file FBAR this year (2020) but do I need to do anything extra beside that? Thank you Nick
I don't know what the "average exchange rate" is. Where did you get this? Is it significantly different from the treasury rate? If it isn't, I think you can use it as long as you put on the Form 8938 where you got your exchange rates from.
@@FinanciallyAware it is yearly average exchange rate from IRS and the difference between tresury rate and this rate is of $1. I forgot to mention the source. Will this create any problem?
A $1 difference in the posted exchange rates or a $1 difference in your bank balance using this different exchange? If it is a $1 difference in what your bank balance is, then don't worry about it. I usually just round up to the higher dollar anyway. So if it is like $10,300 or $10,301 with a different exchange rate, just use $10,301. They are not worried about stuff like this.

Good luck. Make sure you file because the penalties they have are ridiculous.

Hello Nick! I have a question about one life Insurance policy that I have with ICICI Bank in India. It worth's about $9680.95 at the end of policy when it matures after 10 years. Should I declare it on fbar or form 8938? appreciate your help! Thanks
I don't think that counts because you don't control it and it is not even over $10,000. I'm not sure about these insurance accounts though.
If I didn't file fbar for 2019 and 2020, should I file the fbar twice so it's one for each year?

The probably won't since you just moved there and it wasn't willful. The sooner you contact them and tell them your situation, the better.

I’m a Canadian Citizen and have been continuously legally living and working in US since 2017. I have filled my taxes in US but did not file FBAR the last 3 years since I didn’t know I have to report my RRSP & TFSA which both are above $10k and no contribution was made the last 5 years.
Based on your video I will file FBAR this year (2020) but do I need to do anything extra beside that?
Thank you Nick
I don't know. You may want to contact FinCEN and ask what to do about the previous years.
By mistake, if yearly average Exchange rate is used instead of treasury rate without mentioning the source on form 8938. Is this acceptable?
I don't know what the "average exchange rate" is. Where did you get this? Is it significantly different from the treasury rate? If it isn't, I think you can use it as long as you put on the Form 8938 where you got your exchange rates from.
@@FinanciallyAware it is yearly average exchange rate from IRS and the difference between tresury rate and this rate is of $1. I forgot to mention the source. Will this create any problem?
A $1 difference in the posted exchange rates or a $1 difference in your bank balance using this different exchange? If it is a $1 difference in what your bank balance is, then don't worry about it. I usually just round up to the higher dollar anyway. So if it is like $10,300 or $10,301 with a different exchange rate, just use $10,301. They are not worried about stuff like this.
Where do I find the fucking 2021 conversion rates! Post the goddam link!
