RPPs on FBAR

Post by sasktoaz »

I am a Canadian citizen with permanent residency in the US. Last year, my first year filing taxes in the US, I reported my undistributed Canadian defined contribution RPP on the FBAR. I am now reading that RPPs do not need to be reported on the FBAR. Is there consequences for reporting something on the FBAR you didn't need to? Can I leave it off this year or do I need to keep reporting it now?

RPPs do not meet any of the criteria for FBAR reporting.
I would stop including it.
After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best

Thank you. Would Form 8938 apply? The amount in the RPP did not meet the threshold last year but I expect it will this year.

I think you can figure that out. It depends on ALL your foreign holdings, not just one account.
