In 60 words

Form 8938 vs FBAR is an information return: How the two US foreign-asset reports differ, and why most cross-border filers must file both with different contents. Anyone who has already discovered one of the two reports and needs to know whether the other one also applies to them.

Who has to deal with this

Anyone who has already discovered one of the two reports and needs to know whether the other one also applies to them.

Start with the mechanism, not the form. Different agency, different form, different threshold, different asset list, different due date, different penalty regime. Reporting the same accounts twice is not duplication — it is two separate obligations, and satisfying one does nothing for the other.

Two of the firm’s advisers and the team in the open-plan office

What form 8938 vs FBAR filing both costs here

On a file that needs both the FBAR and the FATCA statement, the fee follows the accounts rather than the forms: the same holdings are sorted against both asset definitions, and anything appearing on only one report has to be identified rather than assumed. Both are quoted together, in writing, before work starts.

When it is due

Information returns are generally due with — or on the same timetable as — the return they accompany, so the deadline is the filing deadline of the underlying return unless the rules set a separate date. Where an extension covers the return, confirm whether it also covers this form; several information returns keep their own date. We diarise it from your own year end rather than from a generic calendar, because the two rarely coincide in a cross-border group.

What late or missed filing costs

The penalty on an information return is charged per form and per year, and it does not depend on tax being owed. That is the whole risk profile: a filer with no tax to pay can still accumulate a substantial liability across unfiled years, and the exposure compounds with each additional entity or account that should have been reported. The practical response is not speed but order: mapping every affected year before contacting an authority is what keeps relief on the table.

The arithmetic, worked through

Worked through with figures, the mechanism looks like this.

Why three small accounts are reportable

Three ordinary foreign accounts, none of which looks like a reporting problem on its own. The account report is tested on the aggregate of all foreign financial accounts at their highest point in the calendar year.

ItemAmount
Current account, highest balanceUS$5,000
Savings account, highest balanceUS$7,000
Account held with a relative, signature authority onlyUS$3,000
Aggregate tested against the thresholdUS$15,000
Reporting threshold (verified, FinCEN)US$10,000

The aggregate of US$15,000 exceeds the US$10,000 threshold, so all three accounts are reported — including the one that is not the filer's money, because signature authority counts. That is an illustration of the mechanism, not a prediction about your file — the same computation on your figures is the first thing we do.

These amounts illustrate the mechanism only. The rates and thresholds are assumptions of the example, not your numbers: each is checked against the issuing authority for your specific tax year before any return is filed.

How we prepare and file it, and what it costs

Form 8938 vs FBAR is quoted with the rest of the year's filings so you see one number rather than a list of add-ons. If the scope changes we come back to you before doing the work. See the leaving Canada — departure (emigration) tax for comparable engagements.

How we handle it

  1. 1Establish whether the reporting test is met, on the correct measure
  2. 2Assemble the holdings, accounts or entities that fall inside it
  3. 3Prepare the return and reconcile it to the tax return it travels with
  4. 4File, and set the calendar entry so next year is not a catch-up
  • Nothing is filed until you have read it.
  • 18,000+ clients served across 4 global offices: India, the USA, Canada and the UAE.
  • A change of scope is re-quoted before the work, never added to the invoice after it.

If you already have an adviser, we will tell you what they should be asking rather than replacing them.

Whichever way the facts cut, you keep the same footing: a fee agreed in writing beforehand, a named practitioner reviewing the file, and nothing filed until the work is delivered and approved.

Fixed fees around form 8938 vs FBAR filing both

Most people arrive here having filed one report, often the FBAR, and not the other. That is the smaller half of the work; the larger half is the years in which neither went in, because the route back differs for each report and the remedy has to be chosen before either is prepared.

Cross-border tax case studies

Case study 1

Accounts Reported Late When the Income Already Was

Where the income was on the return and only the account report was missed, a narrow route allows late filing with a reason attached. It is open only while no income is unreported and no examination has begun, which is why it is checked first.

Read how this one runs
Case study 2

A Trust Abroad With a Canadian Connection

Contributions or beneficiaries in Canada can bring a foreign trust inside the Canadian net entirely. The analysis is who contributed what and when, because the answer decides whether the trust files here at all.

Read how this one runs
Case study 3

Treaty Relief Claimed on a Cross-Border Estate

The estate article can extend a proportionate credit where the two systems would otherwise both tax the same asset. Claiming it requires a valuation and a disclosure the estate may not expect to make.

Read how this one runs
Case study 4

One Salary, Two Countries Claiming It

A US citizen resident in Canada, taxed in full on both sides because each return was prepared without the other in view. Deciding which country has the first right to the income, then claiming relief on the second return in the right order, is what stops the same dollar being taxed twice.

Read how this one runs
Case study 5

Years Filed Quietly, and What That Cost

Posting missing returns without taking a view on the route gives up the certification-based protection and can itself be read as an indicator. The first task on these files is mapping which years remain eligible for which route.

Read how this one runs
Case study 6

A US LLC Owned From Canada

The two countries classify the vehicle differently, so relief that ought to apply frequently does not and the same profit can be taxed in both hands. The engagement examines whether the structure can be changed and what the change itself costs.

Read how this one runs
Case study 7

A Disclosure Where the Facts Were Not Innocent

Where non-compliance was not inadvertent, the certification-based routes are unavailable and a different practice applies, with its own protections and its own price. Establishing which side of that line the facts fall on is done before contact is made.

Read how this one runs
Case study 8

Withholding Reduced by the Right Article

Dividends, interest and royalties each have their own article and their own rate, and the payer applies whichever it is satisfied of. Establishing entitlement before payment is what secures the lower rate at source.

Form 8938 vs FBAR — questions we are asked

Do I file Form 8938 vs FBAR even if no tax is owed?

Information return obligations of this kind are generally required on the facts rather than on the tax result, so a nil position does not remove one. Anyone who has already discovered one of the two reports and needs to know whether the other one also applies to them.

What happens if I have missed Form 8938 vs FBAR for several years?

Missed years are dealt with as a package rather than one at a time, because the route chosen for the first year affects the relief available for the rest. We map the years and the obligations before anything is filed.

Is Form 8938 vs FBAR the same as the other reports I already file?

No. How the two US foreign-asset reports differ, and why most cross-border filers must file both with different contents. Satisfying a different obligation, even one covering the same accounts or entity, does nothing for this one.

Who has to file an FBAR?

A US person whose foreign financial accounts, added together, exceed the reporting threshold at any point in the year — measured on the aggregate high balance, not on year-end value, and not on income. It captures accounts you merely have signature authority over, so business and family accounts are frequently missed. It is filed with FinCEN separately from the tax return, and its penalties are separate too. See FBAR — FinCEN 114.

Do I pay US tax on an inheritance from abroad?

A bequest is not income, so the receipt itself is not taxed. Reporting is a different matter: a US person who receives large gifts or bequests from a foreign person or estate files an information return for the year, and inheriting a foreign account or an interest in a foreign trust brings the account and asset reports with it. The penalties here attach to the information return, not to tax — which is why people who owed nothing still get letters. See Form 3520.

Do US citizens abroad have to report foreign bank accounts?

Yes, and under two separate regimes with different thresholds and different filing homes — one report to FinCEN covering foreign financial accounts, and one to the IRS with the return covering a broader class of foreign assets. Both are keyed to balances rather than income, so an account earning nothing can still require reporting, and each carries penalties of its own. See filing both.
