Can Greenback Prepare My FBAR Even If I’m Handling My Own Taxes?

Yes. Greenback can file your FBAR (Foreign Bank Account Report) independently—even if you’re preparing your own US tax return or don’t have a US filing obligation at all.

We understand that some expats may not meet the income threshold for filing a full return, but still meet the foreign account reporting requirements. That’s why we offer standalone FBAR preparation as a service.

Who Needs to File FBAR?

You must file FBAR (FinCEN Form 114) if:

  • You’re a US citizen, a Green Card holder, or a resident
  • You have a financial interest in or signature authority over foreign accounts
  • The aggregate value of all foreign accounts exceeds $10,000 at any time during the year

This includes bank accounts, investment accounts, and even certain joint or business accounts held outside the US.

What Greenback’s FBAR Service Includes:

  • Standalone FBAR preparation if you don’t need a full tax return
  • Accurate reporting of all required foreign financial accounts
  • Secure document collection via the Greenback Tax Companion
  • Filing directly with FinCEN (not the IRS)

Pricing for FBAR filing as a standalone service starts at $115 and includes up to five foreign accounts. Each additional 5 account block costs $55.
