Get your taxes done using TurboTax
TurboTax doesn't support the Form 8621 at all, not even with our assisted return preparation options.
It's a tricky form with a lot of variables.
As strange as it sounds, since you've already filed, I'd suggest filing an extension on your tax return so that you will be covered by the rules for "timely" filing these forms should it take you some time to find appropriate assistance near you. TurboTax is likely to not understand the request to eFile that form after already filing your tax return, so filing by mail is likely the simplest - you can find the form HERE. It's an automatic extension, so you don't have to wait to hear back from the IRS.
Google can probably assist with finding a qualified professional (we don't have a list to suggest for this) but I'd vet the sources carefully. I'd also check with any friends or family members that you think may have similar situations to see if they can offer any recommendations as well. Some experts specialize in only certain types of PFIC reporting (such as only Canadian accounts or only Australian Superannuation), so be sure to ask the ones you are interested in working with if they have specific experience with foreign life insurance, ideally the specific type that you have from the country that issued it.
