FBAR refers to Form 114, Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts, that must be filed with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), which is a bureau of the Treasury Department. The FBAR filing requirement is not part of filing a tax return.
IT IS REQUIRED ONLY IF YOU HAVE OVER $10,000 USD IN FOREIGN BANK ACCOUNTS.
