Question for fbar report

[zengjia0413]

I am H1B and my wife live in china normally. So she is non-resident alien.  We are filing tax jointly.
 She has a account over $10,000 in china, should we file a fbar report ?

Yes, if you or your wife are taxpayers (meaning she is listed on your return) with an interest in, or signature or other authority over, foreign financial accounts whose aggregate value exceeded $10,000 at any time during 2016 generally must file.
