The information is reported to two separate agencies. The Form 8938 is filed with the IRS. The FBAR requirements are reported to the office of Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau of the Department of the Treasury. The information may be redundant, but both forms need to be filed.
