 March 21: Association of Americans Resident Overseas and the American Association of Wine Economists -  free FBAR Workshop

The AARO and AAWE FBAR Workshop will take place at the AAWE's offices on avenue de New York in Paris, beginning at 2:30pm, and run until around 5pm. The event will address one of the more onerous tasks for Americans who live abroad: The annual filing of their  Foreign Bank Account Report (FBAR), also known as Fincen 114. Every U.S. citizen and U.S. Green Card holder is required to report, via these FBARs, to the IRS on those accounts they hold outside the United States if the total amount they hold in all of their accounts is more than US$10,000. Bi-lingual volunteers familiar with FBAR filing will be on hand during the event to present to help those attending with their FBARs, although they are not tax experts and therefore cannot give legal advice nor respond to complex tax questions. 

This workshop is limited to 15 people, and pre-registration is required. If this session is full and there is demand for another one, the AARO and AAWE will arrange to hold another one.
