  2. " If these real estate holdings were held by a foreign entity, such as a foreign corporation, partnership, estate or a trust, in which you have an interest, then ONLY the investment in this foreign entity must be reported on Form 8938, if the form thresholds are met." In addition, the US owner of the foreign entity will also likely have a separate US filing obligation on Form 5471, 8621, 3520 or 8865 with respect to the foreign entity as well as a FinCen 114 reporting requirement for the entity's bank and investment accounts.

    1. Thanks for stopping by Pat, and you are right. That's what I meant by "If point # A applied to you, there are other reporting requirements in addition to Form 8938.".
