Instantly Clarify Your Form 8938 Filing Duty

As an Act 60 beneficiary, you may need to file Form 8938 to report foreign financial assets under FATCA. It's a key compliance step, but figuring out if you need to file can be confusing. DecreeCheck cuts through the complexity. Our streamlined tool helps you determine your filing status in minutes, not weeks. We focus on the essential questions: what assets you hold and whether their value meets the filing threshold. Most decree holders find the help they need through word-of-mouth, but our digital tool provides a faster, more accessible alternative to traditional, time-consuming methods.

Key Filing Thresholds at a Glance

Knowing the filing thresholds is the first step. For Act 60 residents of Puerto Rico, you're typically considered as 'living abroad.' This means you only need to file Form 8938 if your foreign assets are over $200,000 as a single filer (or $400,000 if married filing jointly) on the last day of the year. Our system is designed to quickly assess your situation against these thresholds. Just input your asset values, and we'll provide a clear 'yes' or 'no' on your filing requirement. It's the no-nonsense way to get the information you need without paying for a full, expensive review when you just have a simple question.

What Counts as a Reportable Asset?

Form 8938 covers more than just cash in a foreign bank. It includes stocks, partnership interests, and other investments held outside the U.S. It's easy to miss something, which can lead to problems. DecreeCheck helps you quickly identify which of your assets are considered 'specified foreign financial assets.' Our clear definitions and examples are designed to give you a fast and accurate picture of your reportable assets. While the Act 60 compliance market is digitally underserved, our tool is part of a new wave of AI-powered solutions that have seen rapid adoption due to their speed and affordability.
