I am a US citizen living and working in Canada. As a US citizen, I must file my US taxes every year, and they're quite complicated, but the end result is always very simple: all our taxes are offset by foreign tax credits, and I receive the refundable child tax credit ($1400 per child). I typically do the taxes myself using Free File Fillable Forms to work through everything. However, because I have Canadian investments and Canadian self-employment income, I need to file form 8621 and I need to include a statement with a Canada Pension Plan coverage certificate that exempts us from self-employment tax. Those two pieces (and only those pieces) make it impossible to e-file for free using Free File Fillable Forms. Is there a way to e-file with TurboTax? I see TurboTax doesn't support Form 8621. Is there a way to attach a hand-filed version of the form to TurboTax to allow e-filing?
In the past, I've always filed on paper. We filed in June this year (can't file earlier, since the PFIC reporting needed for form 8621 isn't released by the fund companies until June), and the IRS still hasn't gotten to them yet, so we're still waiting on the refund.
