What do I file for foreign bank accounts?

Banking, payments & cross-border

An FBAR with FinCEN if your foreign accounts exceed 10,000 dollars in aggregate at any point in the year, including accounts you have signature authority over but do not own.

Form 8938 may also apply, filed with your tax return. The two are separate and filing one does not cover the other.

Heading

Check your EIN confirmation letter (CP 575) first. If that is gone, look at a previously filed tax return, a business bank account application, or any 1099 you have issued. Your bank or your payroll provider will also have it on file.
