Joint tax return and FBAR?

[purplecate 7]

Hello!

 

I'm a GC holder through K1 Visa, who's married to an American man.

My husband and I are filing a joint tax return, and I have a question about FBAR.

 

I need to file a FBAR myself, and it's on my name, not a joint account. 

My husband doesn't have a foreign account or asset.

 

In this case, he doesn't file a FBAR? Or does he need to put the same information (my foreign account information) and file as well? 

 

I'm guessing I'm the only one who needs to file,  since he doesn't have a foreign account. But I'm confused because we're filing a joint tax return.

I'm hoping to get a confirmation from someone.

 

Thank you in advance!

FinCEN 114 is not an IRS form, rather Treasury. You list foreign accounts that; on aggregate have $10,000 or more. You list any account that is single, joint, or signatory authority over.

Don’t confuse FBAR with your tax return. The person with the foreign account files FBAR online and not as part of the tax return.

Thank you both so much!
