Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@NewTaxResident , Neiter FBAR nor FATCA has any tax implications.  However, if either of these forms is required then ignoring the requirements  can be VERY expensive -- onerous fines.

 

Also that while FBAR requires one to  visit  www.FinCen.gov to file online  to file the form 114,  FATCA  form 8938  will be automatically  filled out by TurboTax  -- yes there is lot of work on the first time but thereafter it is kind of routine update.  To add to this almost all  banks world over share data with US treasury on ALL US residents.  So I would strongly suggest not to ignore this.

 

I attach herewith an IRS page  comparing and describing the requirements for each of these forms -->

Is there more I can do for you ?
