Does money in an RRSP and UK pension count towards the threshold for form 8938

Post by Potassium »

I have money in Canadian and UK banks but much less than $100,000 and thus would not have to bother filing an 8938 based on this alone.

However I have money in a Canadian RRSP and money in UK pension plans, do either of these amounts count towards the threshold requirement for filing an 8938?

Thanks

Yes.

And the pensions you have some measure of control over now are also require FBAR
