Because the IRS has become very strict about the reporting of foreign financial assets and the penalties for not reporting these assets is so severe, you will want to amend your 2017 tax return to include this missing foreign financial account on your Form 8938.
You can file an amended 2017 tax return once your 2017 return has been accepted by the IRS. Since you mailed in your 2017 return, you may want to wait several weeks before filing your amended return.
As for your reason for amending (to report on your 1040X), you can state that you forgot to include a foreign bank account that was included on your FBAR on your Form 8938.
