disclose this information to other countries under a tax treaty, to federal and state agencies to enforce federal nontax criminal laws, or to federal law enforcement and
intelligence agencies to combat terrorism. Failure to provide this information may delay or prevent processing your application. Providing false information may subject you to
penalties.
The time needed to complete and submit the foreign account or asset statement will vary depending on individual circumstances. The estimated average time is: 2 hour.
