- FBAR vs Form 8938: Which Do You File? — The FBAR goes to FinCEN when foreign accounts total more than $10,000. Form 8938 goes with your tax return at much higher thresholds. Many people file both.
- FBAR Joint Accounts and Form 114a — Each owner of a joint foreign account reports its full value. Spouses can file one FBAR with Form 114a if all of one spouse's accounts are joint.
- FBAR Signature Authority Accounts — Signature authority over a foreign account you don't own — an employer's or a parent's account — can still require an FBAR.
