Most Common Questions

"I have a U.S. Company, Do i need to file form 5472?"

You require file Form 5472 (or other IRS Tax Forms) if you are:

  • A U.S. corporation that is at least 25% foreign-owned and had reportable transactions with a related party.
     

  • A foreign-owned U.S. single-member LLC that is treated as a disregarded entity (the common setup for many non-U.S. founders). These entities file Form 5472 attached to a pro forma Form 1120 when they have reportable transactions with their foreign owner or other related parties. Contributions, distributions, and certain other owner-related transactions are often reportable.
     

  • A foreign corporation engaged in a U.S. trade or business that had reportable transactions with related parties
     

  • Multi-member LLC with two or more foreign owners and remains classified as a partnership, the filing obligations are often centered on partnership returns (Form 1065 and related international reporting), not Form 5472.

"What will happen if I don't file?"

If you were required to file Form 5472 and did not file it (or filed it incorrectly), the penalties can be severe.

  • The IRS penalty is generally $25,000 per Form 5472 that is not filed, is filed late, or is substantially incompleteB If the IRS notifies you and the failure continues for more than 90 days after the notice, additional penalties can apply, typically another $25,000 for each additional period of noncompliance. The IRS can also assess penalties for failing to maintain required records.
     

  • For a multi-member LLC taxed as a partnership, the IRS late-filing penalty for Form 1065 is generally: $255 per partner, per month (or part of a month), up to 12 months for returns due after December 31

Customer Reviews
PTIN

Every Tax Return is prepared and signed by a Licensed CPA with a PTIN

Each tax return processed through our platform is individually prepared and signed by a dedicated tax preparer or Certified Public Accountant (CPA) led by Arik Rozen (CPA), Head of our Tax Filing Department.

 

To ensure full transparency and compliance with federal regulations, every signatory holds an official, IRS-issued PTIN (Preparer Tax Identification Number).
 

  • What is a CPA? A Certified Public Accountant is a licensed professional who has passed rigorous national examinations and met state-specific education and experience requirements. They are legally authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS.
     

  • What is a PTIN? A PTIN is a unique identification number that the IRS requires for all paid tax return preparers. It signifies that the preparer is registered with the Internal Revenue Service and is held accountable for the returns they sign.
     

  • Why Filing with a Licensed CPA Holding a PTIN Matters? Filing with a licensed professional protects you from "ghost preparers" who refuse to sign their work. A CPA with a valid PTIN ensures that your Form 5472, 1120, or 1065 is backed by professional expertise, minimizing the risk of the automatic $25,000 IRS penalty for non-compliance or incomplete filing.
