The questions your team needs answered
Every fatca compliance intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Are you a U.S. citizen, U.S. green card holder, or otherwise treated as a U.S. tax resident? | U.S. tax residency status is the foundational filter — FATCA obligations generally don't apply if the prospect isn't a U.S. person. |
| Do you have (or did you have) any financial accounts outside the United States, such as bank, investment, pension, or insurance accounts? | Holding any foreign financial account is the core trigger for FATCA exposure and drives the rest of the qualification. |
| Did the total value of your foreign financial accounts ever go over $10,000 at any time during a year? | Crossing the $10,000 aggregate threshold is what actually activates reporting duties, separating real exposure from de minimis holdings. |
| Do you have foreign financial assets that may need to be reported on IRS Form 8938 (for example, foreign accounts, foreign stocks held outside a U.S. brokerage, or interests in foreign entities)? | Form 8938 reportable assets often signal a broader, more complex engagement than a simple bank account disclosure. |
| Have you missed, been unsure about, or made mistakes on reporting foreign accounts or assets on your U.S. tax filings in any past year? | A history of missed or incorrect filings points to potential penalty exposure and a need for corrective work. |
| Have you received an IRS notice or letter about foreign accounts, FATCA, Form 8938, or FBAR (FinCEN Form 114)? | An existing IRS notice means the matter already carries enforcement risk and warrants faster attorney attention. |
| Are you looking for help to become compliant (for example, filing or correcting past returns and required foreign-account reports) or to reduce potential penalties? | Confirming intent to become compliant or reduce penalties distinguishes a real engagement from a general information request. |

Common fatca compliance lead scenarios
US person with unreported accounts
A green card holder confirms foreign accounts over $10,000 and admits past reporting mistakes, which pushes the score toward the top of the queue since real exposure and corrective-filing work are both present.
Prospect already holding an IRS letter
Someone who has received an IRS notice referencing FATCA or Form 8938 answers that question first, and the intake flags the matter for immediate attention given the enforcement risk already in motion.
Modest foreign holdings, no threshold crossed
A U.S. resident reports a small foreign account that never exceeded $10,000 and no Form 8938 assets, which scores lower since the core FATCA reporting triggers aren't met yet.
Non-US person with foreign accounts
A prospect who isn't a U.S. citizen, green card holder, or tax resident answers no on the residency question, which lowers the score since FATCA obligations generally don't apply to them.
Voluntary fix-it before an audit
A longtime filer who suspects past errors on foreign asset reporting but hasn't heard from the IRS yet confirms they want help correcting filings and reducing potential penalties, signaling a compliance-driven engagement rather than a crisis one.

FATCA Compliance lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake filter out people with no real foreign exposure?
The residency, foreign-account, and $10,000-threshold questions carry the highest weights, so a prospect who answers no on foreign accounts or never crosses that threshold scores low and can be screened out before a consultation is booked.
What happens if a prospective client already received an IRS letter about FATCA or FBAR?
That question carries top weight in the scoring, so any lead confirming an existing IRS notice is flagged and routed to your CRM as a high-priority matter given the active enforcement risk.
Does this intake also cover FBAR, or is that a separate matter?
The intake asks whether the client has received notices referencing FBAR (FinCEN Form 114) alongside FATCA, but a full offshore disclosure engagement is handled under the FBAR and Offshore Disclosure subservice, so leads can be routed accordingly.
What documents does the intake ask prospective clients to upload?
Prospects are prompted for prior IRS notices or letters, foreign account statements showing balances, and copies of previously filed returns or information reports where relevant.
Can the intake distinguish a simple Form 8938 filing from a more involved correction case?
Yes — the Form 8938 asset question paired with the past-mistakes and compliance-intent questions helps separate a straightforward reporting need from a case that may involve corrective filings across multiple years.
How does the intake handle someone who isn't a U.S. person at all?
The residency question carries the lowest no-weight in the catalog, so a non-U.S. person answering no there scores lower overall since FATCA generally doesn't apply to their situation.
