Hi TNA21, it is my pleasure assisting you again.

 

Who Must File an FBAR:

A United States person that has a financial interest in or signature authority over foreign financial accounts must file an FBAR if the aggregate value of the foreign financial accounts exceeds $10,000 at any time during the calendar year.

United States person means United States citizens (including minor children); United States residents; entities, including but not limited to, corporations, partnerships, or limited liability companies created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States; and trusts or estates formed under the laws of the United States.

Therefore, for calendar year 2021, you look at your foreign bank account(s) being a United States Person for the "Maximum account value."
