Just in case anybody else had this concern. Since, I normally file my income tax by mail, I was not sure about the e-signature. Turned out to be no problem.
There is a warning box that says if this report is amended and prior report bsa identifier is unknown, please enter the prior report bsa identifier before you submit the form
Thanks for Detailed Explanation... We are filing Married Jointly return..Me and My spouse both have Insurance policy from INDIA and of course its separate life insurance policy for both of us. My question is surrender value for both separate policy is NOT OVER 10K USD however combined surrender value is over 10K USD.. So, do i need to file FBAR OR wait until individual policy;s surrender value Crosses 10K USD..
+Milton Gandhi Sorry for the late response. if they are separate accounts, and you have no other foreign bank accounts or pension funds, you would not need to file.
First of all, amazing video ! I would like to know What does maximum amount mean in Keren Hishtalmot, Pension etc.. Say I have 10 $ in my Keren account, in 2017 I added 2$ and in 2018 I added 8 $. If I am filling an FBAR for the 2018 tax year, do I fill in 10$ or 8$ ?
You can usually find it by looking at the erech pidyon of the keren. remember that you don't only have to take into account the amounts you contribute, but also any income the keren itself makes over the years.
You can skip the "validate" button. You need to hit the "sign" button and then "save" the form. Only after you do both of those actions in that order, will the box "ready to file" will become clickable. Hope that helps!!!
hello Philip. I have a Canadian RRSP account . when I file FBAR. does it include in part 1 with bank account ? or do I have to fill up part 2 . owned separately. ?
It should be listed as a separate account in part 2. It will also now need to be added on FATCA Form 8938 as well (used to be exempt for fatca when there was Form 8891).
while these are instructions for individuals, organizations have the same basic steps and this should work for them too. you just need to keep section V in mind in case you have a consolidated organization.
I want to thank you for making this tutorial so easy and painless! I just filed the FBAR by myself for the first time ever thanks to your video.
Extremely helpful. Was nervous to do this on my own. Thanks!
I thought I was the only one who lost sleep over this.

Thanks a lot Philip!

if we are filing FBAR for a organization can we follow the same method?

Did you SEE a foreign bank while on vacation? File form ISAW-8938
urgh. adobe is not working. this is a pain...
