letter with FBARs?

Post by kal2 »

The instructions to the FBAR form do not mention sending any letters, and in fact say to not send any attachments. For someone who just didn't know about them, is a letter necessary? And, should the forms go all in one envelop or get mailed as soon as each one is ready?

if you file timely FBAR, no need a letter. If you file late, you should attach a letter to explain why late.
