If you miss the April 15 FBAR filing deadline, you’ll receive an automatic six-month filing extension. For delinquent FBARs from prior tax years, you should use one of the offshore disclosure methods to file your late FBARs.
FBAR Filing Requirements
FBARs are due at the same time as your tax return on April 15. However, you don’t file your FBAR with your 1040 Form. Instead, you must e-file it through the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network’s e-filing system.
If you miss the deadline, you’ll receive an extension until October 15. You don’t need to request this filing extension, and you won’t be charged any penalties as long as you submit your FBAR by the extended due date.
