Report Foreign Accounts or Face Fine and Jail
U.S. citizens and permanent residents who have bank and other financial accounts in a foreign country may be required to report those accounts to the U.S. Department of Treasury by June 30. The failure to report these accounts can result in a $10,000 fine per account and possible criminal penalties.
The government forces US citizens to file the report each year if they have a financial interest in or signature authority or other authority over any financial accounts, including bank, securities or other types of financial accounts, in a foreign country, if the aggregate value of these financial accounts exceeds $10,000 at any time during the calendar year.
