Form 14452: Foreign Account or Asset Statement

Form 14452, Foreign Account or Asset Statement, is an IRS statement used in a voluntary disclosure. The form says to submit a separate Statement for each foreign account or asset included in the voluntary disclosure, and that at least one Statement must be submitted.

Each statement names the foreign financial institution and its country, says what kind of account or asset it is, and records dates, values and the name the account was held under. The Privacy Act notice on the form says the information is used to determine and collect the correct amount of tax under the terms of the offshore voluntary disclosure program, and that applying for that program is not required.
