Maybe you are not required to file a Form 8938 "Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets"

 

To check and verify, here are the steps:

  • Sign in to your TurboTax account and select Pick up where you left off
  • At the right upper corner, in the search box, type in "foreign assets" and Enter
  • Select Jump to foreign assets
  • Follow prompts

If you live in the US and meet one of the following criteria, you would need to file a Form 8938.  

  • Unmarried individual (or married filing separately): Total value of assets was more than $50,000 on the last day of the tax year, or more than $75,000 at any time during the year.
  • Married individual filing jointly: Total value of assets was more than $100,000 on the last day of the tax year, or more than $150,000 at any time during the year.
