If at any time during the year, the total balance of all your foreign accounts was more than $10,000, you will need to complete FinCEN Form 114 (FBAR).

Yes, the IRS asks about your foreign accounts. Go to...Deductions & Credits...Interest & Dividends...Foreign Accounts. The Fbar will be filed with the IRS not through TurboTax...see answer above.

Thanks a lot, so only declaring the foreign account in Turbo tax is not enough..right ? Is it mandatory for individual to submit the FBAR with IRS....?

Do we have time line to fill FBAR, like if my account got 10k+ some time in July so do I have any time frame to fill that form ?
