NPS reporting to IRS

I have Indian bank account

Savings Bank, Fixed deposits, Stocks, Mutual funds. I will be reporting all of them to IRS via the FBAR form. 

I also have NPS and PPF for which I am making active contributions. Do I report it to IRS using Form 3520 or just the FBAR is sufficient?

I am also making active contributions to Mutual funds. Do I need to report these contributions?

NPS reporting to IRS

@sumanthmvis   Namaste ji

(a) Are  you  on work visa  or  long-term US person ( citizen/GreenCard ) ?

(b)  FBAR is filed ( and ONLY on-line ) at  Fincen.gov   -- form 114 .  It covers liquid asset i.e. bank assets.  Generally the threshold is US$10,000  ( aggregated over all bank accounts  ).

(c) For specified financial assets -- FATCA -- form 8939 is  attached to your return  ( federal only )

(d) For a comparison of FBAR and FATCA requirements , see this --> Comparison of Form 8938 and FBAR requirements | Internal Revenue Service

(e) If you are not here temporarily, please re-consider owning Mutual Funds in India  -- these may be classed as  PFIC  ( Passive Foreign Investment Company ) resulting in  requiring  you to recognize  annual growth and  therefore being taxed. There is a lot of information on PFIC  at financial sites -- PFIC Tax Rules: What Expats Need to Know About Foreign Funds

(f) why are you referring to form 3520 --- do you own a foreign trust or receive  distribution from one ?

 

Please answer my questions and I will circle back --yes ?

If you wish for privacy , consider using PM  ( just NO PII -- Personally Identifiable Information ).  , else just add to this thread.

Is there more I can do for you ?

Namaste ji
