  • Summary

  • If a U.S. tax resident is investing offshore (outside the U.S.) - it can very easily complicate their taxes.

    In this episode, we discuss PFICs (Passive Foreign Investment Companies) and the dangers of investing in them.

    We start by defining them with some examples. Then, we discuss the tax compliance requirements and the potential penalties for non-compliance. We also include financial planning considerations like foreign exchange and repatriation.

    We explain why we want to get a detailed idea of any PFICs clients may have when we start working with them on financial planning or tax preparation.

    Most of our clients /prospects are unaware they have PFICs in their overseas portfolio.

    We discuss ways of dealing with them, how to stay compliant or get rid of them, and also mention the particular case of those with work visas - who may want to keep the PFICs in their portfolio.

    It's a fun discussion.
