Foreign Account Reporting

FBAR & FATCA Processing

Foreign accounts and assets reported accurately — keeping you on the right side of FinCEN and the IRS, where the penalties are steep.

FBAR & FATCA Processing at Cedar Tax Advisors
Overview

FBAR & FATCA Processing, done properly

If your foreign financial accounts exceed the reporting threshold, an FBAR is required — and FATCA may require reporting your foreign assets on top of it. These are separate obligations with separate rules.

We determine exactly what you're required to file, prepare it correctly, and keep the reporting consistent with your tax return so nothing contradicts anything else.

Every engagement is backed by our accuracy commitment and handled with strict confidentiality.

Questions

FBAR & FATCA Processing FAQs

Generally, any US person whose foreign financial accounts exceed $10,000 in aggregate at any point during the year — even for a single day, and even if the accounts produced no income.

FBAR is filed with FinCEN and reports foreign accounts. FATCA (Form 8938) is filed with your tax return and reports foreign assets. Thresholds differ, and many people must file both.

Streamlined and delinquent filing procedures exist for exactly this. Coming forward voluntarily is almost always far better than being found — we'll assess your options.

They can be. Non-willful failures carry meaningful penalties, and willful violations far more. This is one area where getting it right genuinely matters.
