Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@dsyhome0510 , please  this link -- it covers  reporting requirements of financial assets for  FBAR  (FINCEN form 114)  and FATCA ( form 8938)-->https://www.irs.gov/businesses/comparison-of-form-8938-and-fbar-requirements

 

1. there is no tax implications for reporting the assets -- this is not income, even if the value is going up from year to year. Only when you take a distribution  then there will/ may be a tax consequence.  Note that foreign insurance  companies are  not considered "regulated / qualified",  although I would think unless  you had this before you became a US person, a company like AIA is probably quite familiar with  FBAR / FATCA requirments

2. Even if you have missed  filing the form 114 before, don't worry just go ahead and visit   www.Fincen.gov, and look for reporting FBAR and it will take you to BSA-efile -- you enter your details there and most of the time it allows for filing missing reports.  If not do it for at least 2020 and 2021 and then hold still.  If there is questions, just  tell them the facts  -- that you were unaware of  if this had to be reported.  Do this ASAP. see --https://bsaefiling.fincen.treas.gov/Benefits.html  and the button "File FBAR"

3. currently you do not meet the requirements of having to file form 8938 -- this is filed with your yearly return.

 

is there more I can do for you ?
