This article will assist you with e-filing Form 114, Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts, in ProSeries Professional and ProSeries Basic
Beginning on January 1, 2024, many companies in the United States will have to report information about their beneficial owners, that is, the individuals who ultimately own or control the company. For more information see here.
How to electronically file Form 114 in ProSeries:
- Open the client return.
- Open the Federal Information Worksheet.
- Scroll down to Part VI, Electronic Filing of Tax Return Information.
- Mark the checkbox labeled Electronic Filing of Form 114: File Form 114 Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR) electronically.
- From File menu, select Go to Foreign Bank Reporting Form 114.
- If you're using ProSeries Basic, click the State selection from the left navigation menu and check the box for Foreign Bank Report Form 114.
- After completing Form 114, run the ProSeries Final Review to check for errors.
- Correct all errors reported in the Final Review.
- Save and close the client file.
- Go to the EF Center HomeBase in ProSeries (or the EF Clients tab in ProSeries Basic).
- Locate the client and note the row dedicated to the Form 114.
- The EF Status column will display Frm 114 marked for EF, indicating the presence of a Form 114 that is available for e-filing.
- When you're ready to submit the client's Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts electronically, highlight the Form 114 marked for EF row.
- Proceed with electronic filing the client's Form 114 just like you would if you were submitting an income tax return.
