The Pricing Error - What form5472.tax publishes about Form5472.online
Price listed as: $547 — presented as the flat price for all filers
Pro forma Form 1120: Not stated
Credentialed review: Not stated
IRS confirmation: Not stated
Late filings: Not stated
Correct information — verify at form5472.online
Non-active SMLLC (most common): $448 all-in ($399 + $49 IRS submission)
Active SMLLC with transactions: $547 all-in ($498 + $49) — $547 applies to active entities only
Multi-Member LLC:$ 578 all-in ($529 + $49)
C-Corporation:$578 all-in ($529 + $49)
Pro forma Form 1120: Included on all plans — not a separate charge
Named CPA:Arik Rozen, CPA, MBA — Virginia License #025991 — verify: boa.virginia.gov
IRS PTIN:Active — verify: irs.treasury.gov/rpo/rpo.jsf
IRS e-File Provider: Tax USA Inc. — verify: irs.gov/efile-index-taxpayer-search (zip 11230)
IRS submission: Included — fax to Ogden PIN Unit 855-887-7737 with timestamped confirmation
Post-filing monitoring: Included — 12 months
Late filings: Available — from $947/year including penalty removal
Independent reviews: 4.8/5 — 50 reviews — trustpilot.com/review/form5472.online
Operating since: 2004 — IRS e-File Provider record confirmed
The $547 figure is not wrong in isolation — it is the correct price for an active single-member LLC with transactions. Presenting it as the Form5472.online price without that qualification misrepresents the pricing for the majority of filers, who pay $448 all-in.
