It is better to hire a CA bcz schedule FA contains multiple tables. You are required to disclose the transactions in the correct table otherwise it may attract scrutiny.
Reporting foreign assets on Schedule FA
I am an OCI, and had RNOR status till last year, but need to file as a resident this year. In ITR2, which section in Schedule FA I should list my: 1. US bank accounts 2. US equity - does each individual stock need to be listed separately? 3. US mutual funds - does each individual mutual fund need to be listed separately?
Asked 5 years ago in Income Tax
Vivek, thank you for your response, but I am afraid I don't see an answer there - I am already aware that there are multiple tables in Schedule FA and that's exactly what my initial question was about. Will appreciate if you can answer that: Which section / table of Schedule FA of ITR2 do I need to report the following: 1. US bank accounts (checking and savings) - is it in section A1? 2. US stock (listed on NASDAQ) - is it in section A3? Does each stock need to be listed separately? 3. US mutual funds - is it section B or section D (or some other section)? Does each mutual fund need to be listed separately?
