Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@Min Zhao  whereas I agree with the comments from my colleagues @marctu  and @KanchanM ,  the focus here has only addressed the 8938  reporting requirements i.e. these would come under  FATCA regulations  ( as  trusts/ entities).  However, because these are un-regulated insurance companies  (  may be  regulated under Foreign/ local  tax laws), they would generally be  classed as PFICs ( Foreign Passive Investment Companies).  If this is true then there may be  also mark-to-market  recognition requirements -- of any residual value.    This is just for awareness at this stage but may indeed become a tax event.
