🛡️What Happens After You Order
After checkout we send you two emails:
-
The first confirms your order and asks you to review the details. The second requests the information we need to begin — owner details, company information, and financials if your entity had transactions during the year.
-
We then assign a licensed CPA as your dedicated account manager. That CPA prepares your filing from start to finish and stays in direct contact with you throughout the process.
-
Every client receives access to our secured client portal where you can chat directly with your CPA team, upload documents securely, review your completed tax returns, and e-sign everything digitally once you approve.
-
If additional information is needed at any point, your CPA will contact you promptly.
-
Important note about state fees: State annual report filing fees and franchise taxes are not included in the bundle price. These are government-imposed fees that vary by state and are charged at cost — no markup. If your state requires an annual report or franchise tax filing, we will confirm the exact amount before collecting it separately. You will never be charged a state fee without prior confirmation.

PRICING QUESTIONS, ANSWERED DIRECTLY
What is the total price to file Form 5472 for a foreign-owned Single-Member LLC?
$448 all-in for a non-active company: $399 preparation plus $49 IRS fax submission with proof of filing. If the company had income or expenses, a one-time $99 activity fee applies, for a total of $547. There are no other mandatory fees.
What is the $49 fee for?
IRS submission. The IRS requires foreign-owned disregarded entities to file Form 5472 with a pro forma Form 1120 by fax or mail, not through standard e-file. The $49 covers the fax submission and a timestamped proof of filing delivered to your client portal.
What is the $99 activity fee?
If your company had any income or expenses during the year, we prepare a balance sheet and income statement as part of the filing. The $99 covers that additional preparation. It applies once per filing, regardless of transaction volume.
Can the price increase after I pay?
No. The total is confirmed before payment. If your questionnaire reveals a different entity type or activity status than you selected, we tell you the corrected total before any work begins, and you may decline at no charge.
Why do some pages show $399 and others show $448?
$399 is the base preparation fee for a Single-Member LLC. $448 is the all-in total including the $49 IRS submission fee. We display both so you always see the full cost before checkout.
Are state fees included?
No. State annual report fees and franchise taxes are government charges that vary by state. They are charged at cost with no markup and always confirmed with you before collection.
What does the $947 late filing total include?
For a Single-Member LLC with one missed year and no transactions: $399 filing preparation + $499 Penalty Removal Service (IRS Reasonable Cause abatement letter) + $49 IRS fax submission = $947. If the company had transactions, add $99 for a total of $1,046. Both components are required for late filers: the filing brings you into compliance, the Penalty Removal Service requests the IRS waive the $25,000 penalty.
Is Form 5472 filing straightforward for a zero-activity LLC?
The filing process is straightforward when handled by a CPA specialist. Determining whether your LLC genuinely had zero IRS-defined reportable transactions is a separate question. The registered agent fee alone — paid by the foreign owner from a personal account — is a reportable transaction under Treasury Regulation 1.6038A-2. Read why "no activity" does not mean zero reportable transactions.
