Swiss PFIC checker

If you're an American in Switzerland, the trap is a pincer: your broker often can't sell you US-domiciled ETFs, while any Swiss or European (UCITS) fund — and most fund-based Pillar 3a — is a PFIC that needs its own Form 8621. Pick your broker or 3a provider and your holdings (or paste your ISINs) to see where you stand.

1 · Where do you hold it?

2 · What do you hold?

Or paste your ISINs — one per line

Educational estimate, not tax advice. Domicile is the fund's legal home, not the broker or exchange you used. Broker and 3a-provider policies change — confirm current terms with your provider before acting.
