FBAR Filing

Post by fbarhelp »

Hi everyone,

I moved to the US last year and the total value of my accounts was > 10k. I have a few questions:

- Do I need to report accounts that I closed before moving to the US? If so, I have no info on these accounts anymore (e.g. account number). What should I do?

- For each account, I report the maximum income, even though I may have transferred money between accounts? e.g. moving 10k across 3 different accounts?

- Do I need to report money I had in my TFSA?

Thanks!

I also had life insurance with an "investment" portion that I closed in 2018. Do I need to report this?
