Just add the info to the Sch B area just like you do for  U.S. bank interest/dividends.

It’s really not an issue.

 

I often wonder for those of us not in the Trumpesque tax avoidance realm,  how much human attention is even paid to most of our overseas returns?

 

I suspect next to nothing

Filing FBARs is a serious obligation if you are required to do so. Don't mess with that!

If you don’t like the cuts you can send in as much extra as you like....

I think you kinda missed the plot there.

 

All I was trying to say was unless you are in the Trump type echelon of earners, where they can and do, take huge exemptions, write downs to avoid (minimize) tax, most of us little guys, our tax filings never get past an automated machine reader.

 

So don’t get all Trump sensitive for Gods sake!
