Is Your Spouse Innocent?
by MARIANNE MAN
Lauren thought she had married the perfect man. She and her husband, Charles, met at UCLA during their first year of college. He swept her off her feet with his intellect and charm, and when he received his acceptance into medical school at UCSF, she followed him. Charles proposed during his last year of his medical residency. Lauren felt her life was complete when, two years after they married, the couple was blessed with a beautiful daughter. Lauren decided to stay at home with her daughter and become a full-time homemaker. She left all financial decisions to her husband, whom she always knew to be trustworthy.

As a result, when the FBAR reporting requirements are explained to them, a common reaction is akin to a dismayed and shocked "Are you FBAR serious?"
