Form 5472 & 1120 explained for foreign-owned LLCs

The one annual filing every foreign-owned single-member LLC must make — even with zero income.

Who must file

Single-member LLCs owned by a non-US person are treated as disregarded entities and must file Form 5472 attached to a pro-forma Form 1120.

The penalty

Missing it can cost $25,000 per form. That is why we put it on autopilot.

Our service

$99.99/year for qualifying LLCs with no US-sourced income or US employees.
