I am preparing to file my TDF 90.22.1 to disclose my Canadian holdings. I have three questions:
- When I file my TDF 90.22.1 should I send in my 8891 RRSP disclosure at the same time or submit the 8891 when I send in my 1040?
- When I fill in my 8891, does RPP qualify or is it RRSP only?
- Since most of my accounts are in Canadian dollars, what exchange rate do I use for the conversion to USD? Is there a US goverment prescribed rate for 2010?
Background:
Left Canada and arrived in the US under TN status in August of 2010. Applied for a US tax filing extension to wait to get my Canadian emigrant return so I have the numbers to fill in my 2555 and 1116.
Thanks. This is a great forum!

TDF's are completely separate from anything to do with your tax return. They are even sent to a different address.
Only RRSP's or RRIF's are reported using 8891.
For 8891 they ask for year-end value, so you use the value at... year-end.
For TDF, they ask for the highest value of your account, so find out when that was and use the exchange on that day. There was not much fluctuation during the year.

I'm filling the form in now. In the Exceptions section of the instructions it states:
"Participants in and Beneficiaries of Tax-Qualified Retirement Plans. A participant in or beneficiary of a retirment plan described in Internal Revenue Code section 401(a), 403(a), or 403(b) is not required to report a foreign financial account held by or on behalf of the retirement plan."
Does this mean I don't include my holdings in RPP, RSP, and RRSP's?
Thanks!

You don't say what what form you are talking about. so I presume it is TDF form.
Cdn RRSPs and RRPs do NOT meet the IRS definition of 401(A), etc, so they need to be reported thru FBAR.
