I have a question that I don’t see mentioned here. For U.S. Expats who have a bank account count in Thailand where they deposit their 800,000 baht requirement to satisfy their year extension. Do they complete the FBAR each year? I think it is called FinCen form 14.

Learned this from a CPA friend of mine...

If you are American and have a foreign bank account - you need to fill out "FBAR, *Form* 114" with your taxes yearly, or ELSE! There is a $100,000 fine that may be leveled against you, if you don't. Look it up - don't find out the hard way!

Question regarding opening bank here as a US citizen. I had to do the W9 form. The bank person said the US government will tax me based on the money I leave in the bank. I just wonder how does it all work. Will the tax be on the interest amount or the total balance amount?

Thanks in advance
