Why Hire an FBAR Attorney in Colorado?

Maintain FBAR Compliance & Avoid Penalties
For those who are not completely familiar with FBAR (Report of Foreign Bank Accounts), it is a regulation under the Bank Secrecy Act to help monitor and prevent money laundering through foreign banks. Documentation must be filed every year by June 30th (FinCen 114) that discloses all account/asset values and earnings.
This FBAR requirement applies to any citizen, resident alien, trusts, estates, or domestic entities that own foreign assets that exceed $10,000:
- Bank accounts (foreign, or U.S. banks on foreign soil)
- Securities
- Commodity or option futures
- Insurance policies featuring cash value
- Mutual funds
- Indirect interest in foreign accounts
Penalties for non-compliance can be harsh in many cases. Violating FBAR compliance starts with a $10,000 civil fine per accidental violation, and upwards of $100,000 penalty, or 50% of your account / asset values for violations determined as intentional.
As you can see, ignorance or accidental delinquency when it comes to FBAR compliance still comes with hefty fines, which is why it's crucial to consult with a FBAR attorney or expert that can help shed light on your situation, and keep you 100% informed of your FBAR requirements.
