No. It applies to each additional related party requiring a separate Form 5472, not to every wire, contribution, distribution, or recurring transfer involving the same related party.

Multiple transfers involving the same foreign owner do not automatically increase the fee. We report annual amounts and required transaction categories based on the organizer. Additional related parties or unusual complexity can change the scope.

Not as part of the $500 package. The client must provide organized annual totals through our organizer. Bookkeeping or transaction reconstruction is separately scoped and priced.

No. We do not offer a stand-alone review or certification service for third-party or self-prepared Forms 5472 and pro forma Forms 1120. We prepare the engagement from the beginning using our organizer and process.

Routine, complete files are generally drafted within 3-5 business days after all required information and payment are received. Multi-year, late, complex, incomplete, or peak-season files may require 7-14 business days.

No. The standard fee applies per filing whether the client comes directly or through a partner. A white-label or back-office relationship may be arranged, but each file is billed at the standard rate when submitted and payment is required before work begins.

No. Once the original due date passes without a timely extension, the filing is late. Filing promptly may still be important, but the strategy and penalty risk must be addressed separately.

No. The IRS currently states that a foreign-owned U.S. disregarded entity cannot electronically file this Form 5472 package. It must be faxed or mailed to the dedicated IRS destination.

Yes, when fax submission is included or requested under the engagement. We provide the available transmission confirmation. The client may also file by fax or mail if that is the agreed procedure.

For an otherwise routine delinquent filing, the two common approaches are filing without an attached reasonable-cause statement, starting at $500 per year, or filing with a protective reasonable-cause statement for $1,500 per year. The proper approach depends on the facts.

No. The IRS may process a late return without a penalty, or it may issue a penalty notice even when a statement is attached. No preparer can guarantee penalty relief.

The IRS instructions state that failure to file a complete Form 5472 on time and in the required manner can trigger a $25,000 penalty. Additional penalties may apply if the failure continues after IRS notice.

No. A protective statement filed with a delinquent return and a later IRS penalty-defense engagement are different services. The current fee for Form 5472 penalty defense is $3,000 per penalty year unless a different written quote applies.

Each reportable tax year requires a separate filing. We first identify which years had reportable transactions. A dormant year is not automatically excluded if there was owner funding, fees, expenses, loans, or other related-party activity.

Revival can create a multi-year scope question. We usually need a timeline, state records, prior filings, bank and payment-processor history, and annual related-party activity before quoting the complete cleanup.

No. California Form 568, state franchise-tax returns, annual reports, sales-tax filings, and other state obligations are separate. The federal Form 5472 package does not resolve state compliance.

No. We advise on U.S. federal and, when separately engaged, U.S. state issues. A qualified adviser in the owner's country should address local tax, foreign-tax-credit, entity-characterization, and local permanent-establishment questions.

The free call is for a narrow scope, fit, or organizer clarification. A paid consultation is for personalized analysis and recommendations involving U.S. trade or business, ECI, Form 1040-NR, ITIN, sourcing, treaties, state nexus, sales tax, payroll, or structuring.

A consultation may include a written summary of the principal issues discussed. A formal signed tax or legal memorandum is a separate engagement and is quoted based on scope.

Provide the LLC's legal name, state and date of formation, tax year or years, owner type and country, number of related parties, main transaction categories, whether a timely extension was filed, whether the LLC was dissolved or revived, and whether there are U.S. employees, agents, offices, inventory, real estate, travel, or tax forms.
