When completing a Currency Transaction Report (CTR), FinCEN wants the most complete and accurate information you can provide. If you’ve ever completed a CTR, you know that there is a lot of information that’s requested on that form. The CTR Instructions talk about “critical” and “non-critical” fields. Critical fields are required to be completed, and non-critical fields are not. Keep in mind; however, just because non-critical fields aren’t required, that doesn’t mean they are voluntary, and you can just skip them either. If you have the information, you need to report it.
