FBAR

Hello, this is a very informing forum,

I understand that these questions are very basic, but appreciate it if someone helps me with them, these are about FBAR:

1. I filed my taxes as MFJ. But foreign accounts are only under my name and they are not joint, so my spouse doesnâ€™t need to file FBAR, and she doesnâ€™t need to sign mine. Am I right?
2. I am inside US. So can I still send TDF 90-22.1 form with FedEx to the courier address or I only can send it to the PO Box?
3. One of my accounts had less than a dollar (less than 50 cents); can I put it as 0.xx ? Or all numbers should be rounded?

Thank you in advance

1. Yes.
2. You can send the form to any address designated to receive TDF 90-22.1 form. It doesn't matter.
3. Both ways are OK.

Kerman,

Be advised there are TWO different addresses to send the FBAR...one is for regular mail and the other for courier service ie:FedEx.

Personally i would send it fedex, as you have a confirmation in your back pocket that it was sent and someone in Detroit signed for it.

The addresses are located on the FBAR instructions.

send it to the right address..we sent our fbars registered mail to the regular mail box # by mistake...our fbars disappeared and were never delivered or returned to us.
