Currently, the FBAR is due June 30, 2016 for the 2015 filing year with no filing extensions. Beginning next year, the deadline is moving to the same day as Tax Day - April 15th - and you'll have the same filing extension options as you do for your tax return. You'll receive an automatic two-month extension if you're living overseas on April 15th, and may request an extension up until October 15th.

ABOUT ME

David is an IRS Enrolled Agent, an MBA and an experienced finance professional and entrepreneur. David and his wife, Carrie, were frustrated with the process of filing their expat taxes. They found plenty of accountants, but few who could accurately prepare expat taxes. There were expensive accountants who treated them like a number and US CPAs who were well meaning, but not up to date on the rules as they apply to expats. Together they decided there had to be a better way. So they created the kind of company they wanted to work with - and Greenback Expat Tax Services was born!
