Foreign-Owned US LLC
The risk
Form 5472 isn't complicated.Missing it can be.
Form 5472 is generally due by April 15 following the end of the tax year. Failure to file it correctly or on time can result in an IRS penalty of $25,000 per form.
Deadline
April 15 following the end of the tax year, filed with the pro forma Form 1120.
Accuracy
Reportable transactions must be identified and reported correctly.
$25,000 penalty
The IRS penalty for failure to file Form 5472 is $25,000, with further penalties if it stays unfiled.
The filing itself is routine when it is handled by people who do it every day. We make sure it is prepared properly and submitted on time. Already late or filing a prior tax year? We handle those too, and include a reasonable cause statement at no additional charge when the facts support one — the IRS makes the final decision on penalty relief.

Do you need to file Form 5472?
If these three things describe your business, a filing requirement generally applies.
US LLC
You own or operate a US LLC.
Foreign-owned
The owner is a non-US person or entity.
Reportable transactions
The LLC has reportable transactions with its foreign owner or related parties.
Examples of reportable transactions
- Money or assets you contributed to the LLC.
- Withdrawals or distributions you took out of the LLC.
- Company formation costs paid from your personal bank account.
- Registered agent, banking or software fees you paid personally for the LLC.
- Personal expenses paid with the LLC's card or account.
- Loans, transfers of property, or payments involving you or a related person.
Even a single transaction like this generally triggers the filing requirement. If you are unsure, our questionnaire walks you through it.
