Form 114

Is there a workaround for the Form 114 Zero balance account error? The system says to check the account unknown box in order to e-file the form. Client is concerned about possible ramifications from FinCen.

Possible options:

  • Ignore the error and disable error-checking when e-filing it.
  • Enter $1.
  • Check the unknown box.  FinCen is really only concerned about hiding money and accounts.
