Default Re: If you had more then $10k in neteller in 2006 but didn\'t pay taxes

You only have to file if you had 10k at ONE TIME in neteller correct?

incorrect. aggregate total is what they are looking for. in other words, the total of all deposits.

Are you absolutely certain of this? This does not match my (limited) understanding, which is that the form must be submitted if the aggregate balances exceeded $10k at any time in 2006.

I guess i can't say I'm "absolutely certain of this" since the IRS uses different terminology.

FBAR Requirements


The qualifications for filing are:

1.The person has financial interest in, signature authority or other authority over one or more accounts in a foreign country, and
2.The value of the account exceeds $10,000 at any time during the calendar year.


I'm fairly certain that #2 would be the aggregate. On the form they ask for maximum value of the account.

It's the maximum aggregate value of all accounts, not the aggregate of deposits (unless, of course, you start the year at $0 and never withdraw). For example, if you deposit $1000 into your account every Tuesday for an entire year, and withdraw $1000 every Friday, the sum of your deposits is $52k. However, your balance - the value of your account - never gets to the $10k trigger.
