A late Form 5472 costs $25,000.
Filing it correctly costs a fraction of that.

Every foreign-owned single-member US LLC must file Form 5472 with a pro-forma 1120 — even with zero revenue. Most owners find out after the penalty notice arrives. Don't be most owners.

Questions foreign owners ask us every week.

Who has to file Form 5472?

Any US corporation that is 25%-or-more foreign-owned — and, since 2017, any foreign-owned single-member LLC treated as a disregarded entity. If you live outside the US and own a US LLC by yourself, this almost certainly means you. The form is filed together with a pro-forma Form 1120.

What happens if I don't file it?

The IRS penalty is $25,000 per required Form 5472, per year — and an additional $25,000 for each 30-day period the failure continues after the IRS notifies you. It applies even if your LLC owed no tax. This single form is the reason our practice exists.

My LLC had no income this year. Do I still need to file?

Usually yes. Form 5472 reports "reportable transactions" with the foreign owner, not just income — and contributions you made to the LLC (formation costs, the registered-agent fee you paid, money you moved in) count. A dormant-looking LLC very often still has a filing obligation.

When is the deadline?

Form 5472 is due with the pro-forma 1120 by April 15 for calendar-year LLCs. A six-month extension to October 15 is available by filing Form 7004 — something we handle for every client who engages us near the deadline.

Do I need an FBAR too?

If the combined value of your non-US financial accounts exceeded $10,000 at any point in the year and you're a "US person" (which can include your US entity's obligations), FinCEN Form 114 applies. We assess this as part of every intake — it takes one question to check and a five-figure penalty to ignore.

I've already missed one or more years. Is it fixable?

Often, yes. Penalties can be contested through reasonable-cause abatement, and late filings are far better received when they arrive before an IRS notice does. Tell us in the intake form that you have missed filings — it changes the strategy, not our willingness to help.

General information, not tax advice for your specific situation — that's what the intake form starts.
