To K104XYZ --
"...prefer to keep doing that": that's the point, I would rather keep doing what I've been doing, rather than change and thus tacitly imply that I've been doing it wrong. And since I now have that response from the IRS email tax help service, I feel reasonably secure in continuing to ...

I know this is anticlimactic, but I submitted the same query to the IRS that K104XYZ did, with the following result.
I contacted the IRS's Electronic Tax Law Assistance Service, asking them if I could check "NO" on Schedule B line 8, given the fact that I do own an RRIF but I do not own any other ...

"In fact until 2014, [RRSPs] were indeed a foreign trust requiring 3520 treatment." But I haven't seen remarks on this forum indicating that any significant number of people with RRSPs were submitting 3520s. The IRS appears to be inconsistent with its treatment of requirements. Which at ...

(1) MGeorge and K104XYZ have said that in 8938 Part VI Line 8b they specified "Corporation", not "Trust". That would certainly make Schedule B easier: for the last several decades I have owned RRSPs or an RRIF but marked Sch B Line 8 = "No", and I would certainly not like to abruptly switch at this ...

Thank you rafa02 and nelsona. I will follow the procedure I intended to; it makes things easier.
I should have made it clear that I did not fill in the FBAR online. I downloaded the FinCEN-114.pdf file, filled it in offline, and then transmitted that pdf file to the Treasury Department via the web ...

Use corrected 2013 FBAR pdf file for 2014 ?
For my 2014 FinCEN-114 (FBAR) I'm going to use my existing 2013 Fincen-114 pdf file and just update the Year, Filing Name, and Max Account Values.
Is anybody else doing the same thing, or do you know of any reason I shouldn't do this?
The new FinCEN-114 I just downloaded has the same Version ...

Subject: USC in CA - list OAS & QPP on form 8938 ?
Well, I found an IRS page that says this:
Q: I am a U.S. taxpayer and have earned a right to foreign social security. Do I need to report this on Form 8938?
A: Payments or the rights to receive the foreign equivalent of social security, social insurance benefits or another similar program of a ...

US citizen in CA - list OAS & QPP on form 8938 ?
OK, then I propose to do the following:
a) 1040 Line 20a = combined OAS + QPP amounts.
b) 1040 Line 20b = zero.
c) To explain Lines 20a & 20b, I will enclose a summary of the OAS and QPP amounts received and mention the US-Canada Tax Treaty.
d) I will list the OAS and QPP on form 8938 part VI ...
