Frequently asked questions

1. Do I need to file FATCA forms if I already file FBAR?

Yes. While FBAR and FATCA often overlap, they are separate filings with different thresholds and requirements.

2. What if I didn’t know I had to file Form 8938?

If you qualify, the IRS Streamlined Procedures may let you catch up without penalties. We’ll assess your eligibility.

3. What’s the penalty for not filing Form 8938?

A $10,000 base penalty, which can increase with time. Filing late without action can quickly become costly.

4. Do foreign retirement accounts count toward FATCA thresholds?

In many cases, yes. We’ll review your accounts and advise you accordingly.

5. What documents do I need for FATCA filing?

Foreign account statements, investment summaries, and any supporting data related to non-US financial assets.
