In a June 17, 2008 news release (IR-2008-79), the IRS reminded United States persons having a financial interest in or signature authority or other authority over financial accounts in a foreign country to report those accounts to the Treasury Department by June 30, 2008, if the aggregate value of the financial accounts exceeded $10,000 at any time during the 2007 calendar year. United States persons who are required to report their financial accounts must file a Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR), Form TD F 90-22.1, each year that they have a financial interest in or signature authority or other authority over any financial accounts, including bank, securities or other types of financial accounts, in a foreign country.
