  As a cryptocurrency holder, you may have reporting obligations under FBAR (Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts) in 2021. FBAR requires U.S. persons to report their financial accounts held outside of the United States if the total value of those accounts exceeds $10,000 at any time during the calendar year. This includes cryptocurrency accounts held on foreign exchanges. The deadline for filing FBAR is April 15th, but an automatic extension until October 15th can be requested. It's important to note that failure to comply with FBAR reporting obligations can result in severe penalties.

  Hey there! So, if you're holding cryptocurrency and you're a U.S. person, you gotta pay attention to FBAR. Basically, if the total value of your foreign financial accounts, including your crypto accounts on foreign exchanges, exceeds $10,000 at any point during the year, you gotta report it. The deadline for filing FBAR is April 15th, but you can get an extension until October 15th if you need more time. Just remember, not reporting can lead to some serious penalties, so better stay compliant!
