If you have a foreign bank or other financial accounts, or can sign on such an account, you are required to disclose these accounts, or be subject to a $10,000 penalty per account. An amnesty period is available allowing voluntary disclosure of such accounts that were not previously disclosed and request related penalties be waived.
