Foreign interest and foreign dividends are reported on the 1040 and Schedule B. Even if it is below $1,500, since the interest and/or dividends will (usually) originate from a foreign financial account, Schedule B is filed for Part III of the form.
Unlike the FBAR, taxpayers file Form 8938 with their federal income tax returns. Depending on a taxpayer's situation, they may need to file Form 8938 or the FBAR or both, and may need to report certain foreign accounts on both forms. Taxpayers can find a comparison of Form 8938 and FBAR requirements on IRS.gov.
A United States person that has a financial interest in or signature authority over foreign financial accounts must file an FBAR if the aggregate value of the foreign financial accounts exceeds $10,000 at any time during the calendar year.
In order to complete the FBAR form, you will need the following information: Your name, address, and Social Security Number or ITIN. The name, address, and social security number (if any) of all joint owners of the account. Your foreign banks' name and address. The type of account ? bank, securities, or other.
