QUESTION: Urgent Quote Needed: Completing Form 1120 & 5472 for Non-Operating Japan-Based US LLC (Amazon Seller)?
I’m a Japan-based individual who formed a single-member LLC in the US in 2023 for online business via Amazon.com. Although I obtained an EIN and filed for an automatic extension for the 2023 return, I haven’t begun sales yet and have no revenue.
However, I incurred expenses establishing the LLC and paying Amazon seller fees. Now, I urgently need help completing my 2023 Form 1120 and Form 5472 before the late filing penalty deadline.
I’ve partially filled out the forms and can provide any additional information you require immediately. I’m prepared to pay via credit card and would appreciate a prompt quote for service fees and estimated completion time.

Tax Obligations and Form Preparation
Forms 1120 and 5472: What You Need to Know
As a foreign-owned single-member LLC, you’re required to file a proforma Form 1120 along with Form 5472. This form is specifically for reporting transactions between the LLC and the foreign owner or related parties.
Tax Implications for Non-Operating Businesses
Even if your LLC had no revenue for the year, the IRS requires filing these forms only if there are reportable transactions. Non-compliance can lead to penalties
