US reporting requirements for a Canadian brokerage account

Post by ChromiumDioxide »

I have a Canadian based brokerage account, for a US tax return Im presuming I'll need to declare interest (if any) as well as list it in the FBAR.
But I'm not clear if a 3520 needs completing also.
Does a brokerage account count as a "trust"?
