Question regarding fbar

I will be going through domestic streamline process. My question is that i had a corp closed in 2008, bank account tied to the corp closed in 2011. Now when i file my fbar how should i list this account? as corporation or personal? If i list is as corp would i have to explain on amended return? Thanks

JCGA is correct. I had a call from a CRA auditor a year after i moved to the US. She had a few question regarding my tax return i answered her all the questions, 4 months later i called CRA to find out that i wasn't under any audit.

New Streamline process

Do i just need to send 1040x for domestic streamline or does it have to be both 1040 and 1040x?

Thank You

Since i am not in OVDP it would be interesting to know what my lawyer would have to say.
If i have to go to the program spend another few years and opt out to go into streamline would not make sense
Thanks

Remember this rule: whether a source of incoem is taxable has NOTHING to do with what account it was put in, or in what currency it was paid
