    Yes you are correct, there is a problem with the report. However, you only file this report for "Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts" not for your IRA or any US accounts. Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts are those that are located in other countries. Examples of this are bank accounts, and investment accounts in Canada or RRSPs in Canada.

    So the issue is this, Quicken's implementation of the FBAR report is only reporting the cash balances of the accounts and not the value of any of the securities or mutual funds etc. This makes this report useless.

    If "bookmarked" it and that why you are getting notified on each post go to the top right of this page and you will see a star (filled in), click on it to "turn off the star".  That will take it out of your bookmarks.

    You can't unfollow a thread you've participated in. It's a quirk of this forum.

    Thanks I was wondering about that.  Then my suggestion would be to go into the notification settings and turn off email notifications for practically everything, except say comments on bookmarks and then when you want to follow a thread, bookmark it.

    That is basically what I did when I first started on this new forum (and the ones before it, way too much email).
