Basic question. I am lookin to file my FBAR form for this year. I am up to date on my prior FBAR filing. I am wondering if people have had good experiences with using the on-line filing service for this form?
Thanks!
Does on-line filing of the FBAR work well?

I have had some clients try, but from what I remember they had trouble making it work from Canada (may be different now).
Most clients however hate the idea of having to submit the forms through the "financial crimes enforcement network".
I don't blame them....

Ah yes, very nice call about an online service. I have not previously bought any US tax software, thinking it wouldn't work for me in Canada. But I will give it a shot this year -and it's clearly worth it if it can save those forms for me rather than doing them in Adobe fillable pdf's.
Thanks both of you!
