Reusing FBAR

The FBAR form seems basically (except for some headers) unchanged for years. I don't want to copy all the information about the places about which I have to report. I tried cut-and-paste from last year's form to this year's, both leaving last year's signed, and removing the signature. Neither worked.

Could I just un-sign last year's form, put in the new amounts, re-sign, and submit the form?

The following is based on just looking at the FBAR E-Filing page and playing with the form.

Assumingg you are using the pdf version method found here:

the saved pdf file from the last filing can be modified to remove the signature, change the tax year, change the filename, resign it and save it. As I can not test the "Submit" process, I would hope that the site would allow the submission of a newly named file.

According to Lawrence Israel snipped-for-privacy@gmail.com:

Yes, I've been doing that for a long time, and they always accept it.

It was nominally due in April but everyone got an automatic extension to October.
