As an American with Canadian retirement savings accounts, I have to find a special treasury form to, I believe, JackDawson's agency. No joke.

Posted by Mop (aka rburriel) Mar 28 '17, 21:43

FinCEN is the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network at Dept. of Treasury, and they require the annual filing of FBAR (don't know what that stands for) form 114 on the BSA (another acronym I don't know) website.

It is a simple declaration of assets held overseas. It's a very simple form (although they could make filling it out easier).

I've done this dutifully every year I've lived in the U.S. Or, rather, every year since they've had this form. Nonetheless, I fully expect to find myself crying in JackDawson's presence at some point in the future. In regards to taxes, that is.

Where'd the EDIT button go? I wanted to correct "find" to "file" but no EDIT button! -- nm - Mop Mar 28, 23:12 8
- You have to be logged in. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 28, 23:17 7
  - That's not it. I've clicked a couple of my other posts, and there's and EDIT button, but not here. -- nm - Mop Mar 28, 23:19 6
    - Does it have to do with the device I used to post? This very thread is a hodge podge of edit and no edit. -- nm - Mop Mar 28, 23:22 5
      - If you see "Your Activity" in the upper right corner, you should be seeing the edit button on all of your posts. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 28, 23:32 4
        
        On the other hand ....... you have two logged in sessions and one has capitalization in the username and the other does not. It could be that stupid. -- (edited) - Beryllium Mar 28, 23:32 3
        
        So either sign out and sign back in with the corresponding capitalization, or use the original device -- nm* - Beryllium Mar 28, 23:39 2
        
        So I've got two accounts? The username is case sensitive? -- nm - Mop Mar 28, 23:43 1
        
        the username is case insensitive when logging in, and it is not properly correcting the case to what is stored in the database. - Beryllium Mar 28, 23:51
