Consult Us on Form 8621 and PFIC Reporting
Most problems with foreign funds come from one of three gaps: the fund was never identified as a PFIC, the wrong tax rules were used, or the numbers do not agree across Form 8621, the FBAR, Form 8938 and the income tax return. We review your funds, work out which forms and years apply, and help you choose a path that fits your history.
What we help with
PFIC analysis
Identifying which holdings are PFICs, the exceptions that apply and the regime for each fund.
Form 8621 preparation
A form and a readable background computation for each fund and year, and where each number goes on your return.
Indian mutual fund statements
Reading consolidated statements, building lots, dividends and sales, and the year-end units and values.
Elections review
Whether a QEF or mark-to-market election is available and what it would change.
Past-year correction
Options for years that were not reported, including amended returns and statements, based on your facts.
Coordination
Making Form 8621, the FBAR, Form 8938 and your return agree.
How it works
