For FBAR (FinCEN Form 114) and Form 8938 (FATCA), do I have to report foreign bank accounts closed before I got the greencard?

I got a greencard by arriving US in November, 2025. Do I need to report bank accounts closed before I became a US person?

Yes, you need to file an FBAR if your total foreign account balances were more than $10,000 between January 1 and December 31, 2025. You must report all accounts you held during that year, including those you closed before November.
