In preparation for the retirement of the Magnetic Media program, FinCEN is no longer accepting new applications to batch file BSA forms using tapes and/or diskettes. New users who wish to batch file their BSA forms should submit these files using the BSA E-Filing system. A future announcement will reflect the mandatory transition date from the Magnetic Media program to FinCEN's BSA E-Filing system, which provides filers with a more secure, cost-effective, and efficient filing method. Additional information regarding the BSA E-filing system is available at http://bsaefiling.fincen.treas.gov/index.jsp or by contacting the BSA E-Filing Help Desk at 1-888-827-2778 (option 6) or BSAEFilingHelp@notes.tcs.treas.gov
[UPDATE: As of July 31, 2010, the toll free number for the BSA E-Filing Service Desk is 1-866-346-9478 (Option 1). The email address is now BSAEFilingHelp@fincen.gov.]
