Using a throwaway bc my boss knows my main. Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

FBAR filing for offshore accounts. I've been dealing with this for about 11 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but got conflicting advice.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

Keep records for at least 7 years. The IRS can audit further back in some cases.

Have you consulted with a CPA yet? This is complex enough to warrant professional advice.
