Eligibility
Do you need to file Form 5472 and Form 1120?
If all three of these are true, the IRS requires you to file both forms every year — even if your LLC made zero revenue. Form 5472 reports the related-party transactions; the pro forma Form 1120 is the vehicle it attaches to.
Do you own a US LLC?
A single-member LLC organized in any US state — Wyoming, Delaware, New Mexico, Florida, etc.
Are you a non-US person?
You're not a US citizen, green card holder, or US tax resident. You live and pay tax outside the US.
Did you move money in or out?
You contributed capital, took distributions, paid yourself, or had any reportable transactions during the year.
The penalty is $25,000 per form, per year.
The IRS automatically assesses the penalty for late or missing Form 5472 and Form 1120 filings. If you've missed prior years, the Delinquent International Information Return Submission Procedure (DIIRSP) lets you catch up with a reasonable cause statement — we generate this for you.
Deadline
When is Form 5472 due?
For a calendar-year LLC, Form 5472 and the pro forma Form 1120 are due April 15 of the following year, or October 15 if Form 7004 is filed by April 15. A fiscal-year LLC files by the 15th day of the 4th month after year-end.
How it works
How does Form 5472 filing work?
Form 5472 filing works as a six-step flow: you enter your details, we prepare the package, a qualified accountant reviews it, you sign online, we fax it to the IRS, and you get the timestamped fax receipt. The package includes the cover letter, pro forma Form 1120, Form 5472, supporting statement, and a late-filing reasonable cause statement when the IRS DIIRSP procedure applies.
Before you start
- Estimated time
- About 15 minutes
- What you need
- LLC and owner information, Reportable transaction totals, Year-end total assets
- Tools
- Form5472 Prep online filer, IRS fax delivery to Ogden PIN Unit (+1-855-887-7737)
- Cost
- $149 flat fee
- 1
Enter your LLC, owner, and money details
Answer the guided questions about your LLC (name, EIN, address, formation details), the foreign owner (name, tax ID, country of residence), and the year's money movements: capital in, distributions out, loans, and year-end total assets. It takes about fifteen minutes, and no accounting software is needed.
- 2
We prepare your filing package
After payment, we generate the package from your answers: the cover letter, pro forma Form 1120, Form 5472, Part V supporting statement, and, when the filing is late under the IRS DIIRSP procedure, a reasonable cause statement. Everything arrives as one PDF, so you never fill in an IRS form line by line.
- 3
A qualified accountant reviews it
Every filing is reviewed by a qualified accountant before it is submitted. The accountant checks the package against the answers you gave, and if anything needs clarifying we message you on your filing page. Signing opens only after the review is approved, so you never sign an unchecked package.
- 4
You sign online
Once the review is approved, read the package and draw your signature once in your browser. We place it in every required signature box on the PDF, so there is no printing, scanning, or uploading. Nothing is sent to the IRS until you have signed.
- 5
We fax it to the IRS
After you sign, we fax the complete package to the IRS Ogden PIN Unit at +1-855-887-7737. Fax delivery is included with every plan, so you do not need your own fax machine, a separate fax service, or any IRS account. We email you when the fax is delivered.
- 6
You get the timestamped IRS fax receipt
You receive the fax provider's transmission receipt and can download it from your filing page. It records the destination number, the timestamp, the page count, and the reported result. Keep it with your submitted package: it is proof of what was sent and when, not an IRS acceptance notice.

FAQ
What are common Form 5472 questions?
- How much does it cost?
- Two flat, all-inclusive prices for a single tax year — $149 for standard filing, ready in 5-7 business days, or $199 for express filing, ready within 3 business days. Additional past tax years are +$99 each on either tier. IRS fax delivery to the Ogden PIN Unit is included on both — no separate add-on.
- What's the difference between the two tiers?
- Only the turnaround. The filing is identical on both: we prepare your Form 5472 + pro forma 1120, a qualified tax accountant reviews it, we fax it to the IRS Ogden PIN Unit, and email you the timestamped confirmation — plus a reasonable-cause letter on late / DIIRSP filings and a filing reminder in the second week of January for next year. Standard filing ($149) is ready in 5-7 business days; express filing ($199) is ready within 3 business days and adds priority email support.
- What if I've missed prior years?
- Pick all the years you need to file when you start. We'll auto-flag the filing as DIIRSP (Delinquent International Information Return Submission Procedure) and include a reasonable cause statement requesting penalty abatement. Pricing is +$99 per additional past year on either tier.
- Do I really need Form 5472 and Form 1120 if my LLC made no money?
- Likely yes. Form 5472 reports reportable transactions, which includes any capital you put in or distributions you took out — not just revenue. The pro forma Form 1120 is always required as the attachment vehicle whenever Form 5472 is required, even with zero income.
- Is fax filing really included?
- Yes — every plan includes fax delivery to the IRS Ogden PIN Unit and a timestamped provider transmission receipt. Keep it with your submitted package; it is transmission evidence, not IRS acceptance or a guarantee of penalty relief. You don't need your own fax machine.
- Why does the IRS require fax instead of e-file?
- Foreign-owned U.S. disregarded entities cannot use ordinary corporate e-file for this Form 5472 and pro forma Form 1120 package. The special IRS instructions allow fax to +1-855-887-7737 or mail to the dedicated Ogden PIN Unit address. Our service uses fax and supplies the provider transmission receipt.
- Are there any hidden fees?
- No. The price you see is the price you pay. No setup fee, no monthly subscription, no per-page fax surcharge. Multi-year filings add a flat $99 per additional past year — disclosed up front and shown in the checkout summary before you pay.
- Do you store my bank statements or signed forms?
- No. We process your bank statements in memory to extract transaction totals, then discard them — they are never written to permanent storage. The signed PDF you upload is held only long enough to fax to the IRS and deliver the fax confirmation receipt back to you, then it is deleted. The only thing we retain is the fax confirmation receipt itself (your proof of filing) and the basic entity / owner information needed to produce next year's filing.
- What's your guarantee?
- 100% money-back guarantee if we fail to submit your filing to the IRS. If the fax doesn't deliver on the first send, we automatically retry. If it still fails, you get a full refund — no questions asked. And if the IRS ever assesses a penalty because of an error in our preparation, we handle the response with the IRS at no charge.
