Form 8621 complexity estimator

Estimate preparation scope from the number of potential PFIC holdings, tax years, reporting methods and available records. This tool estimates workload—not PFIC status, filing eligibility or tax. Review the Form 8621 requirements first if you are unsure what counts.

Enter your holdings and years, then estimate the likely preparation workload. No tax liability is calculated here.
