What does StartGlobal do for you?#

StartGlobal's public offering includes LLC formation with state fees included, registered agent service, EIN/business tax number support, remote US bank account setup, virtual US mailing address, US phone number, invoicing/payments, bookkeeping, Federal Tax Filing, and state annual reports. The services are sold a la carte or through a Managed LLC plan.

The facts file says StartGlobal explicitly targets non-US founders and positions Wyoming as the default for most international founders, with Delaware pitched to founders planning to raise venture capital.

What does StartGlobal leave with you?#

Every foreign-owned single-member US LLC with a reportable transaction must file Form 5472 with a pro forma Form 1120 each year. That annual IRS information return is required regardless of who formed the LLC or provides registered agent, address, bank-account, phone, bookkeeping, or state-report support.

The federal filing is separate from state formation and state annual compliance. It is also separate from generic tax-filing language unless the provider confirms the specific forms covered.

Does StartGlobal name Form 5472?#

No, the facts file says StartGlobal public pages do not name Form 5472 or pro forma Form 1120. Because generic Federal Tax Filing language is not public confirmation of the specific 5472 package, ask StartGlobal for written confirmation tied to your plan.

Do not assume either way from generic wording. Ask StartGlobal to confirm in writing whether your plan includes Form 5472 + pro forma Form 1120; if it does not itemize those forms, a Form 5472-specific filing service fills the gap.

What is your first-year filing timeline?#

Your first-year filing timeline starts in the month the LLC is formed, and a short first year still counts if there was a reportable transaction before December 31. Initial funding sent to open the account, pay vendors, or reimburse owner-paid expenses is usually reportable, making first-year filing common.

The initial funding sent to open the LLC's account, pay vendors, or reimburse owner-paid expenses is usually reportable. For newly formed foreign-owned LLCs, that makes a first-year Form 5472 filing the normal outcome.

How do we file it?#

We file it by turning your formation details, owner information, year-end assets, and related-party transactions into a complete Form 5472 package. The 12-question wizard also prepares a DIIRSP reasonable cause statement for missed prior years, then an accountant reviews the package before Ogden PIN Unit fax submission.

Every package is accountant-reviewed before we fax it to the IRS Ogden PIN Unit at +1-855-887-7737. You receive the timestamped fax receipt as transmission evidence. 100% money-back guarantee if we fail to submit.

How do you catch up on multiple missed years?#

If your StartGlobal LLC is older and you cannot confirm that Form 5472 + pro forma Form 1120 was filed for each year, identify the missed years before an IRS notice arrives. DIIRSP lets late international information returns be submitted with a reasonable cause statement requesting penalty relief.

Frequently asked questions

Does StartGlobal's Managed LLC plan clearly list Form 5472?

The facts file says the public pages list Federal Tax Filing but do not name Form 5472 or pro forma Form 1120. Ask StartGlobal for written confirmation tied to your plan and tax year.

StartGlobal charges for Federal Tax Filing by revenue. Is that the same thing?

Not necessarily. The facts file treats it as unclear because the public pages do not identify the specific Form 5472 + pro forma 1120 package. Confirm the forms, not just the category name.

Does StartGlobal's bank-account setup create the filing by itself?

The bank account is not the filing. But the funding wire used to open or operate the account is often a reportable transaction, which can trigger the first-year Form 5472 obligation.

If StartGlobal formed my Wyoming LLC, should I use Wyoming-related guidance?

Yes for state annual-report context, but the federal Form 5472 filing works the same in Wyoming and Delaware. The federal package is what Form5472 Prep handles.
