How is the return filed?

The IRS doesn't accept Form 5472 electronically from foreign-owned LLCs; the return goes to the fax number or mailing address the IRS designates. We handle this step for you.

Is the state annual report part of this return?

No. The state annual report or annual state tax is a separate obligation, with dates and rules that vary by state. We can add it to your scope if you like.

How much does the service cost?

Service fees are determined specifically for you, based on your needs, following the intro call. If you apply, the total amount payable is clearly shown at the payment step before any payment is made.

Transparency

Good to know

Form 5472 + pro forma 1120

A US LLC wholly owned by a foreign person (a disregarded entity) reports its reportable transactions with its owner on Form 5472, attached to a pro forma Form 1120. Formation costs, contributions and distributions count too.

Due date and extension

For a calendar-year company the deadline is 15 April of the following year (the 15th day of the 4th month). Form 7004 generally gives an automatic 6-month extension; it doesn't extend the time to pay any tax.

The cost of filing late

If Form 5472 isn't filed on time or the required records aren't kept, the IRS charges a heavy penalty, plus an additional penalty for each 30-day period once 90 days have passed after its notice.

State obligations are separate

Apart from the federal return, most states require an annual report or an annual tax: in Wyoming the annual report is due by the first day of the anniversary month; Delaware LLCs file no annual report but pay the annual tax by 1 June.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

In most cases, yes. For a foreign-owned single-member LLC, the obligation depends on reportable transactions between the company and its owner; putting money in, taking money out or paying the formation costs all count. We confirm your situation in the intro call.
