Confusion about which address to use on form 8938

Post by acd257 »

I have Nokia (Finalnd Euro) shares through employee purchase plan and is managed by Computershare in UK. I meet the threshold for FBAR & 8938 because of foreign accounts (RRSP)

For form 8938 part VI which address to use address of foreign entity Nokia shares so Nokia Finland address or Computershare address of UK who are managing the account. In FBAR form asks for address of financial institution where account is held.

When I fill FBAR form in Taxact, UK is listed as name of foreign countries in Schedule B part III 7b. My question is since 8938 is filed along with 1040 should the schedule B match 8938 or FBAR form.Will the discrepancy matter
