Effective July 1, 2013 – Electronic filing of FBARs is mandatory
E-filing is a quick and secure way for individuals to file FBARs. Filers will receive an acknowledgement of each submission. For more information about electronic filing, read the FinCEN news release . Help with electronic filing technical questions is available at BSAEfilinghelp@fincen.gov or through the BSA E-Filing Help Desk at 866-346-9478.
There are now procedures to allow the filing of an FBAR by a third party (such as a paid preparer or a spouse) on behalf of the person who has the obligation to file an FBAR. For information pertaining to authorizations for third parties to electronically file and sign FBARs on behalf of an obligated filer, see FinCEN FAQ, Understanding What BSA E-Filing is and What It Offers (June 2013).
