Recent FBAR Guidance

On February 24, 2011, the Treasury Department published final regulations amending the FBAR regulations. These regulations became effective on March 28, 2011, and apply to FBARs required to be filed with respect to foreign financial accounts maintained in calendar year 2010 and for FBARs required to be filed with respect to all subsequent calendar years. The FBAR form and instructions have been revised to reflect the amendments made by the final regulations.

Well, I guess that they could, at least in theory, but you'd need a time machine to do so. FBAR reporting is due by June 30 of the FOLLOWING year. You cannot provide proof of an act that has not yet been done, and is not in fact even yet required.

The other point is that there's no way to "prove" to a 3rd party that you filed. The TD does not acknowledge the filing so there's no way to prove that it was filed.

If that is what they are requiring, there may not be much you can do about it besides filing the form for 2010, which is due June 30, and sending them a copy of the filed form. It is Form TD F 90-22.1. You can get the form and instructions from IRS.gov.

the FBAR is a Treasury form, a foreign bank has no interest in the FBAR

If that is due on June 30, meaning it ought to be postmarked via June 30. basically think of of all the persons taking their tax returns to the submit place of work presently earlier lifeless night on April 15! so which you would be fantastic in case you mail it interior of right here few days.

They can require whatever they want.

For $10K they will not care. It is your issue, not theirs.
