Compass Tax Educators

This course gives a broad overview of the tax law related to passive foreign investment companies, or PFICs.  Failing to properly file Form 8621 can expose your client to both onerous penalties and an unlimited statute of limitations for the assessment of tax.  Even though the PFIC provisions are among the most complicated and punitive sections of the Internal Revenue Code, we will explain PFICs in plain English so you can explain them to your clients.

Learning Objectives:

• Explain what qualifies as a PFIC and how to identify them.
• Describe when a taxpayer must file Form 8621. 
• Compare and contrast the three different taxation regimes for PFICs.
• Understand the potential penalties & statute of limitation issues with PFIC non-compliance.

Your registration includes 2 IRS CE as well as:

• Downloadable course manual and implementation tools as appropriate. These materials are available for download when you log into the webinar.
• The opportunity to listen to the optional presenter and the other members of the Compass Tax Educators instructional team during the optional question-and-answer session held during the original recording.
