Do you have non-US bank accounts

You may have FATCA compliance filings due if your total holdings in aggregate (both cash and securities) total USD10k or more during the year.

Are you a shareholder in any non-US business

You may have to disclose the financials of this corporation if you own 10% or more.

Do you have a cash-growth health or life insurance policy

Your policy may qualify as a Passive Foreign Investment Company, an annual filing requirement; or it may require quarterly excise tax reporting.

Did you give or receive gifts during the year?

If you made a gift worth USD $19,000 or over, you will need to file a gift return. If you received a gift worth 100k or more, you will need to disclose the gift, even though no tax is likely due. These thresholds differ if received from a related party of a foreign business.

Did you gain or surrender US residency/citizenship during the year?

If you were not a resident or nonresident for the whole year, your filing requirement looks different as a dual-status filer.

Are you invested in any mutual funds or private retirement vehicles?

You may need to disclose a Passive Foreign Investment Company, and in rare cases a foreign trust.
