FABR

What is FBAR?

FBAR stands for Foreign Bank and Financial Account Report. It is a mandatory annual report for U.S. citizens, residents, and entities—including corporations, partnerships, and trusts—that have financial interests in or signature authority over foreign financial accounts exceeding $10,000 at any time during the calendar year. The purpose of this requirement is to prevent tax evasion by ensuring transparency in financial accounts held abroad.

Why FBAR Compliance Matters

Failure to file an FBAR can result in severe penalties. Non-willful violations can incur fines up to $10,000 per violation, while willful violations can attract even steeper penalties, including criminal charges and fines up to $100,000 or 50% of the account balance. Given these substantial risks, it’s crucial to ensure that you remain compliant with FBAR requirements.
