Retirement tax questions

Please these instructions for the form 3520 below:

Instructions for Form 3520 (Rev. December 2023)

 

While the particular scheme is not mentioned as one of the "exceptions " to filing requirement ( similar Canadian plans are  ),  I do not believe  you have to report this  on form 3520.  However, when you do contribute and/or get a distribution, you may have to.

My opinion is that since you are reporting FBAR and the FATCA ( form 8938 ) , you are doing the needful  -- filing of 3520 would be duplicative.

If, however, you had a private   foreign trust  ( grantor or otherwise ) , that you owned. contributed to or received distribution from-- yes you would need to report that.

Is there more I can do for you ?
