Understanding FATCA & FBAR: Your Complete Guide Sai CPA Services

Foreign account reporting can be complex, but at Sai CPA Services, we're here to guide you through the essential requirements of FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) and FBAR (Foreign Bank Account Report).

FBAR Filing Obligations If you're a U.S. person with foreign financial accounts totaling over $10,000 at any point during the calendar year, you must file FinCEN Form 114. This applies to individuals, corporations, partnerships, and trusts with foreign account signature authority or financial interests.

Critical Deadlines

FATCA Form 8938: Due with your annual tax return (April 15, with automatic extension to October 15)

FBAR FinCEN Form 114: Due April 15, with automatic extension to October 15

Penalty Framework Non-compliance can result in significant penalties:

FATCA: Initial $10,000 penalty, potentially increasing to $50,000 for continued non-compliance

FBAR: Non-willful violations up to $10,000 per violation; willful violations up to $100,000 or 50% of account balance
