The US Treasury announced that crypto holders might need to require FBAR disclosures.
United States persons are already required to file an FBAR if their foreign financial accounts exceed $10,000.
Despite the US Treasury stating several times that cryptocurrency holders will not be required to report their holdings to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), the bureau just announced that they intend to amend the rules and require FBAR disclosure for virtual currencies.
An FBAR is defined as a Foreign Bank Account Report, also known as Form 114. To submit the report, anyone that is required to do so needs to do it with FinCEN. Failing to file this form can come with heavy penalties.
