You can start your own business

I dont think you should start your own business.
The only other choices around additional income must be passive. You can do stocks but then dont do day trading(active). You can do rental property, but u must have a property manager, to argue that its passive income on your end.

Is QEF inclusion dividend or not? Sometimes, I see QEF inclusion reported on Line 11i and sometimes on Line 6a. I think we can rely on Sec. 1293(c) but I think it’s not foolproof. My hunch is since QEF regime is tailored to treat the PFIC similar to domestic mutual funds, we should not treat the QEF inclusion as dividends. Any help is appreciated.

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly. The two remaining in-laws were on thin ice with me prior due to years of drama, nagging, and disgusting display of wealth.

I want to have a family and a future that is drama-free and full of love and don’t want to surround myself with negativity.
