Should I file FBAR if I have filed 2555 form ?

I have filed 2555 form and excluded full amount of 91,500 and for remaining income from oversea I have used form 1116. All my source of income was salary.

I have two bank accounts in Europe where my salary was sent. Do I still need to report FBAR? Would IRS see unreported FBAR as hidden accounts and possible tax evasion despite my tax return ( 1040 and 2555 form and 1116 form )

Thanks

Yes, you must file FBAR if you meet the requirements of filing.
