FBAR Filing Help - Do I Need to Report ALL Foreign Accounts on FBAR, including $0 balance accounts?

I need to file an FBAR for 2023 because one of my foreign bank accounts exceeded $10,000 at some point during the year. I also have 3 other foreign accounts with very low balances (all under $200, some even at $0). Do I need to report all my foreign accounts on the FBAR, even the ones with zero balances? Any insight here would be greatly appreciated.

No, you only need to report the accounts where balances exceeded $10K during the year.

According to the US Treasury website, an FBAR must be filed if the aggregate value of all foreign financial accounts exceeds $10,000 at any time during the calendar year. Please view the FBAR  line by line instructions

 

The term aggregate would suggest that all financial accounts should be reported.
