You must disclose your TFSA account on your FBAR, known as Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts if the aggregate value of all foreign financial accounts exceeded $10,000 at any time during the calendar year to be reported. If your TFSA is held through a trust – you have to complete Form 3520A  and 3520.

For your RRSP, you must complete the Form 8891.
