"U.S. persons" holding Canadian mutual funds in non-registered, RESP and TFSA accounts and are likely subject to the Passive Foreign Investment Company (PFIC) rules and are required to report income from each PFIC when U.S. income tax returns are filed. A "U.S. person" is defined as a U.S. citizen, U.S. resident, green card holder, or an individual who meets the Substantial Presence test under the Internal Revenue Code (and does not qualify for the Closer-Connection Exception).
