Form 5472 + 1120 filing service
Clemta customer? Get written clarity on Form 5472.
Clemta sells annual plans for international founders that include company formation, an EIN, a registered agent and US business address, and financial tools. Its pricing page includes Federal Tax Filing in the Pro and Premium plans but does not name Form 5472, so confirm Form 5472 + pro forma Form 1120 coverage for your account.

What does Clemta do for you?
#Clemta's pricing page lists three annual plans: Essentials at $349, Pro at $1,068 and Premium at $2,879, each plus state fee. Every plan includes company formation, an EIN, a registered agent, a business address with mail forwarding, bank account application support and invoicing tools (checked October 5, 2026).
Clemta's company registration page covers LLC and C corporation formation for international founders and compares Wyoming and Delaware, noting that other states may also fit.
What does Clemta leave with you?
#A foreign-owned single-member US LLC still has to file Form 5472 and a pro forma Form 1120 annually when it has reportable transactions. The rule applies no matter which company handled formation, EIN application, registered agent service, or business-address setup.
This is a federal IRS information return. It is different from formation work, state annual compliance, registered agent duties, bookkeeping, and generic business filings.
| Task | Clemta | Form5472 Prep |
|---|---|---|
| LLC formation | LLC and C-corp formation | Form 5472-specific service |
| Registered agent | Registered agent service | Federal package only |
| EIN | EIN application | Collects filing facts |
| Form 5472 package | Not named on pricing page | Prepares IRS package |
| Catch-up for missed years | Extra-year terms not published | DIIRSP reasonable cause |
Do Clemta's public pages itemize the 5472 package?
#No. Clemta's pricing page lists "Federal Tax Filing" as included in the Pro and Premium plans and not included in Essentials, but neither it nor Clemta's federal tax filing page names Form 5472 or a pro forma Form 1120 (checked October 5, 2026).
Clemta's Form 5472 blog article says Clemta offers "assistance with Form 5472 filings" but gives no price or plan. That is not a confirmed no; it is a public-pages gap. Ask Clemta to confirm in writing whether your plan or invoice includes Form 5472 + pro forma Form 1120; if it is not itemized, a Form 5472-specific service closes that exact gap.
What is your first-year filing timeline?
#The first tax year begins in the LLC's formation month, even if the company only existed for part of the calendar year. If there was any reportable transaction before year-end, the first-year Form 5472 + pro forma Form 1120 package is due the following filing season.
The first owner funding wire to open a bank account or pay operating costs is usually reportable. That makes first-year filings common even for Clemta-formed LLCs with little or no revenue.
How do we file it?
#Form5472 Prep uses a 12-question wizard to capture the LLC, owner, formation-year, year-end asset, and related-party transaction facts. We prepare the IRS package, including pro forma Form 1120, Form 5472, the supporting statement, and a DIIRSP reasonable cause statement if needed.
A tax accountant who holds an IRS Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) reviews the filing before it leaves our system. We fax it to the IRS Ogden PIN Unit at +1-855-887-7737 and provide the timestamped fax receipt. 100% money-back guarantee if we fail to submit.
How do you catch up on multiple missed years?
#If your Clemta-formed LLC is more than one year old and prior 5472 coverage is unclear, review each year separately. When filings were missed and the IRS has not contacted you, DIIRSP catch-up filing with a reasonable cause statement is the standard route.
Form5472 Prep is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Clemta.

Frequently asked questions
- Does Clemta's Federal Tax Filing line definitely include Form 5472?
Clemta does not say so publicly. Its pricing page includes Federal Tax Filing in the Pro and Premium plans, but neither the pricing page nor its federal tax filing page names Form 5472 or pro forma Form 1120. Ask Clemta in writing.
- Clemta's blog mentions Form 5472 assistance. Is that enough?
Not by itself. Clemta's Form 5472 article says it offers "assistance with Form 5472 filings" but states no price and does not tie the filing to a specific plan. Get written confirmation for your plan and tax year.
- What should I ask Clemta before buying another filing service?
Ask for written confirmation that your specific plan or invoice includes both Form 5472 and the attached pro forma Form 1120 for the relevant tax year. Generic Federal Tax Filing language is less precise.
- Does my Clemta EIN application satisfy anything with the IRS?
It gets the LLC an EIN, but it does not file the annual information return. Form 5472 + pro forma Form 1120 remains a separate annual package when the LLC has reportable transactions.
