What pricing questions do filers ask?
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 in both.
What's the difference between the two tiers?▾
Only the turnaround. The filing itself is identical: 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. Both tiers also include 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 comes with priority email support.
Is fax filing really included?▾
Yes — every plan includes fax delivery to the IRS Ogden PIN Unit and the fax provider's transmission receipt (destination, timestamp, page count, result): evidence of transmission, not IRS acceptance. You don't need your own fax machine.
What if I'm filing for multiple past years (DIIRSP)?▾
Add $99 per additional past year on either tier. We include a reasonable-cause statement on every late filing so the IRS Delinquent International Information Return Submission Procedure (DIIRSP) is invoked correctly.
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.
