Deductions & credits

It depends. Any account overseas is a foreign account regulated by foreign regulators.  If there is more than $10K in the accounts kept overseas, it has an FBAR requirement whether USD balances or otherwise. Besides, as Critter-3 expresses, it doesn't cost anything to file the FBAR and may avoid legal ramifications in the long run. I am sure you can do without the potential headaches involved.
