8938 Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets

Caution: DRAFT—NOT FOR FILING
This is an early release draft of an IRS tax form, instructions, or
publication, which the IRS is providing for your information as a courtesy.
Do not file draft forms. Also, do not rely on draft forms, instructions, and
publications for filing. We generally do not release drafts of forms until we
believe we have incorporated all changes. However, unexpected issues
sometimes arise, or legislation is passed, necessitating a change to a draft
form. In addition, forms generally are subject to OMB approval before they
can be officially released. Drafts of instructions and publications usually
have at least some changes before being officially released.
Early release drafts are at IRS.gov/DraftForms, and may remain there
even after the final release is posted at IRS.gov/DownloadForms. All
information about all forms, instructions, and pubs is at IRS.gov/Forms.
Almost every form and publication also has its own page on IRS.gov. For
example, the Form 1040 page is at IRS.gov/Form1040; the Publication 17
page is at IRS.gov/Pub17; the Form W-4 page is at IRS.gov/W4; and the
Schedule A (Form 1040) page is at IRS.gov/ScheduleA. If typing in a link
above instead of clicking on it, be sure to type the link into the address bar
of your browser, not in a Search box. Note that these are friendly shortcut
links that will automatically go to the actual link for the page.
If you wish, you can submit comments about draft or final forms,
instructions, or publications at IRS.gov/FormsComments. We cannot
respond to all comments due to the high volume we receive. Please note that
we may not be able to consider many suggestions until the subsequent
revision of the product.
