Make it a burden on them, as well as you! I am not going to be their "for free" data input clerk for them. I would stay away from the electronic versions.

The program is not intuitive. I have had many clients that tried to use it and all had some type of problem and or were locked out caused by using a non Explorer browser or using an Apple computer (why not make this very clear just above section where you create a login rather than burry this fact in small print somewhere that most folks will not find it. <br /><br />Then it takes you about ~30 minutes on hold to reach someone. If you read the user manual - a mere 102 pages - you might be proficient in completing the process.....<br /><br />Then if that weren't bad enough, if you decide that you are fed up and will file by mail afterall, you have to fill out another FBAR form as the online e-filed FBAR version says, "Printed versions of the BSA-E-FIling forms are not for submission and will not be processed by FInCEN."<br /><br />Obviously, the persons that designed and implemented the e-file program are clue less and have never completed an FBAR themselves.<br /><br />By the way, the e-file version of the FBAR form is from March 2011 and is thus outdated. The most recent version on the IRS website is date Jan 2012. So, are all the e-filed FBAR forms technically invalid?FBAR Nightmarenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519969502186924526.post-17211437858026145912012-06-27T00:49:40.400-05:002012-06-27T00:49:40.400-05:00@Jack , your first link doesn't work.
Has anyo...@Jack , your first link doesn't work.<br />Has anyone recently tried to e-file ? I just filled the user application form (Step 1) and when I tried to submit the form, I get a DNS server not found error.Guest11noreply@blogger.com
