StartGlobal formed the LLC. Now confirm the 5472 filing.

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.

StartGlobal's LLC formation page calls Wyoming or Delaware excellent choices for most international founders, with Delaware preferred for businesses planning to raise venture capital. Its pricing page lists formation at $399 one-time, state fees included, and the Managed LLC plan at $149 per month (checked October 5, 2026).

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.

Not as a service on the pages we checked. StartGlobal's pricing page prices Federal Tax Filing "by your revenue" a la carte and includes it in the $149-per-month Managed LLC plan; its federal tax filing page names Form 1065 and K-1s, not Form 5472 (checked October 5, 2026).

StartGlobal's home page says it handles annual federal tax filing for single-member and multi-member LLCs, "including the forms non-resident owners need", without naming them. 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.

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.

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 a tax accountant who holds an IRS Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) 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.

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.
