Need more time?
We file your extension. Form 7004 for business returns (Form 5472, Form 1065, Form 1120) and Form 4868 for Form 1040-NR. An extension moves the filing date, not the tax due. The FBAR needs no extension: it extends automatically to October 15.

Questions, answered
What owners ask first.
Do I owe a return with zero income?
Yes, in most cases. A foreign-owned single-member LLC owes Form 5472 for every year it had a reportable transaction with its foreign owner or a related party, and the formation year counts in practice, because the money spent forming the LLC is normally paid by the owner and is a capital contribution. Zero income does not remove that duty. If a later year had no reportable transactions at all, no Form 5472 is required for that year.
What happens if I never filed?
Each missed Form 5472 carries a penalty of $25,000 per form per year. If the failure continues more than 90 days after an IRS notice, a further $25,000 applies for each 30-day period it continues. The filing duty stays in place until the missing returns are filed, so the exposure does not go away on its own.
Can I file late?
Yes. Missed years can still be filed. The practical approach is to file each missed year, starting with the oldest, and to raise reasonable cause with a tax professional. Do not backdate a return, and do not ignore an IRS notice.
Which returns does the portal handle?
The portal handles four individual tax returns, Form 5472, Form 1065, Form 1120 and Form 1040-NR, plus the FBAR (FinCEN Form 114), which is a FinCEN report, not a tax return. Each filing is handled on its own, at the flat price shown above.
What is the difference between regular and express?
Regular: no fixed date. We submit your return before its due date, or we decline the job. We take only the work we can finish on time, so no filing is late because of the queue. Express: we prepare your return within 2 business days after we have received the complete information and numbers. You review and approve it, we submit it, and we send you the confirmation. The 2 days cover preparation; your review time and the IRS or FinCEN acknowledgement are not part of the 2 days. Express costs $50 more per return.
Can you file an extension for me?
Yes, for $19. We file Form 7004 for business returns (Form 5472, Form 1065, Form 1120) and Form 4868 for Form 1040-NR. An extension moves the filing date, not the tax due. The FBAR needs no extension: it extends automatically to October 15.
Is there a bundle price for Form 5472 and the FBAR?
Yes. File both together for $149 regular or $199 express, instead of $99 and $99 separately, or $149 and $149 on express.
Do I need a US tax ID?
The pro forma Form 1120 asks for the LLC's EIN in item B, so the LLC needs an EIN before the return can be filed. The EIN is the LLC's federal tax identification number.
