FBAR or Amended?
CA Filed Single. I paid $4000+ to have my 2024 taxes amended and 2025 taxes done. The attorney at the phone consult said I needed to amend my 2024 taxes because I didn’t report a foreign bank account, which was the reason I hired them. I had $1000 in a foreign account at the end of 2024. After the preparer reviewed my 2024 taxes they sent me an email the 2024 amended taxes weren’t necessary. I complained because the attorney at consult said any amount of foreign money had to be reported no matter the amount. Then they went ahead and amended my taxes and just remarked the section that said I did have a foreign account but they didn’t send me an FBAR. Ai said I needed an FBAR not my taxes redone, which one is it?
