What if I never actually had to file an FBAR (because I was below 10k)? Hypothetically speaking, in a rare case when my Streamlined program would be declined, would I be penalised for not reporting the accounts... that I never had to report? 3. What if I made a mistake on FBAR, for example on Paypal account I said the max... FBARs - questions ..read more

Also, when you enter France, if your... France VLS-TS advice for a Brit ..read more
