FBAR Filing Reviews
Our Greenback accountant was very competent, professional, and conscientious. She helped us a great deal with our FBAR and taxes. We will definitely work with her again next year.
I was hesitant to use an online-only service, but this one is top notch! My Greenback accountant was professional, knowledgeable and clear in all her communications. I would highly recommend for filing FBAR.
We were suffering sleepless nights regarding our delinquent FBAR filings, having messed up a self-filing attempt. We discovered Greenback and never looked back. From the first contact, our accountant maintained a daily dialogue, setting our minds at rest
We did the FBAR with Greenback. The accountant was knowledgeable and patient in explaining everything to us. No issues. Next year we will do the FBAR again and our US Taxes with him. He was excellent
Common questions about filing your FBAR
Greenback files the FBAR (FinCEN Form 114) for a flat $125, which covers up to 5 foreign accounts. Each additional set of 5 accounts is $60, so 6 to 10 accounts cost $185, 11 to 15 cost $245, and so on. There are no hidden fees, and your dedicated accountant handles every account, however many you have.
A dedicated Greenback accountant, either a CPA or an IRS Enrolled Agent with expat experience, prepares and files your FBAR. You work with that same accountant from your first question until your FBAR is filed.
Greenback can file your FBAR and Form 8938 together for $245: $125 for the FBAR (up to 5 accounts) and $120 for Form 8938 (up to 5 assets). Each filing has its own threshold, so your Greenback accountant reviews both and prepares only what you need.
Your Greenback accountant sends you the completed FBAR for your review and approval before e-filing it with FinCEN. Once it is filed, you receive the submission confirmation and a copy for your records.
Greenback’s FBAR filing is done entirely online, so you can file from any country and work around your own time zone. You upload your account details, email your accountant directly, and never need to mail paperwork or visit an office.
Greenback files your FBAR on its own for $125, so you can use Greenback for the FBAR even if your tax return is prepared elsewhere. If Greenback prepares both, the same accountant handles them, so the account figures match across the two filings.
Most FBARs are filed within a week of your Greenback accountant receiving your account details. You need the name of each foreign institution, the account numbers, and the highest balance each account reached during the year, converted to USD. Your accountant confirms which accounts have to be reported before filing, so you are not guessing at the list.
Greenback can still get you compliant, often through the IRS Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures or the Delinquent FBAR Submission Procedures. The IRS advises filing late FBARs as soon as possible to minimize penalties. Many expats never knew the FBAR applied to them, so your Greenback accountant walks you through each step and files on your behalf.
