How the Form5472 Prep Partner Program Works

The Form5472 Prep partner program gives formation agencies, registered agents, accounting firms, and consultants one account for managing Form 5472 filings across multiple client LLCs. The partner starts and tracks each filing, the client signs securely, and Form5472 Prep prepares, reviews, and sends the package to the IRS. Every partner filing is white-label: Form5472 Prep never emails your clients.

The program is designed for firms that already help non-US founders form or maintain US companies but do not want every Form 5472 engagement to become a separate email chain.

Request a partner account if your firm manages more than one foreign-owned US LLC.

Who the partner program is for

The partner program is built for organizations that repeatedly encounter foreign-owned US single-member LLCs, including:

• company-formation agencies serving international founders;
• registered-agent and annual-compliance providers;
• CPA, accounting, and bookkeeping firms;
• business consultants and cross-border advisers; and
• firms coordinating filings for several related client entities.

It is not necessary to turn your team into a Form 5472 production department. The partner's role is to coordinate the client relationship and provide accurate information. Form5472 Prep's role is to prepare the supported filing package, arrange review by a tax accountant who holds an IRS Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN), collect the client's signature, and send the signed package through the dedicated IRS filing route.

The partner operating model

Every client LLC remains a separate filing. The dashboard is the control layer that keeps those filings visible under one partner login.

White-label delivery

Since 30 October 2026 every partner filing is white-label. Form5472 Prep never emails your clients: your firm copies the intake and signing links from the partner dashboard and sends them, and emails about a client's filing come to you. Your firm pays per filing, clients see no prices, and the name you set appears in the client's intake and on the fax receipt.

White label should not be treated as a promise that every screen, domain, payment flow, or legal document changes: client pages still open on form5472prep.com.

Pricing and account structure

There is no platform subscription for a partner account. Each filing is paid individually using the current public service tiers. Check current pricing before quoting a client because pricing and turnaround can change.

The current plans are Standard at $149 with a 5–7-business-day turnaround and Express at $199, ready to sign within 24 hours. Each additional past tax year adds $99, and IRS fax delivery is included. Firms needing volume pricing or consolidated invoicing can request a discussion during onboarding.

Your client price and commercial relationship remain your decision. Do not promise a margin, commission, or wholesale rate until it is confirmed in writing for your account.

Information to prepare before applying

An effective application explains the operating model, not just the company name. Prepare:

1. your legal business name, website, and primary contact;
2. the services you currently provide;
3. the approximate number of foreign-owned LLC clients you manage;
4. who will collect client information and coordinate signatures; and
5. any volume-pricing, invoicing, or communication requirements.

Partner accounts are approved manually, usually within one business day. Once approved, the firm signs in through a secure email link rather than maintaining another password.

The service boundary

Form5472 Prep is a specialized form-preparation and filing-courier service, not a CPA firm and not a substitute for tax advice. The standard service covers the Form 5472 and pro forma Form 1120 package for a qualifying foreign-owned US disregarded LLC. It does not automatically include Form 1040-NR, Form 1120-F, Form 1065, state tax returns, treaty positions, or transfer-pricing advice.

That boundary is useful for partners: routine filings follow one repeatable path, while complex cases are identified for separate professional advice instead of being forced through the wrong workflow.
