The service
What an FBAR is and how we help
The Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR), FinCEN Form 114, is filed electronically with the U.S. Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network — separately from your tax return.
A U.S. person generally must file if the combined maximum value of their foreign financial accounts exceeded $10,000 at any time during the calendar year. We gather your account details, calculate maximum values and file the report for you.
