Run a U.S. company from abroad without managing every finance detail yourself.
Institution coordinates formation and ownership records, Registered Agent coverage, bookkeeping, tax evidence, and banking preparation while banks and licensed professionals keep their approval decisions.
Form 5472: scope, records and filing responsibility.
Institution publishes Form 5472 support at $399 / owner. This is an add-on; your preparer confirms which entities, related parties and filings are required before work begins.
The IRS requires certain reporting corporations with related-party transactions to file Form 5472. A foreign-owned U.S. disregarded entity files it with a pro forma Form 1120. The due date follows the applicable return deadline, including a valid extension.
Failure to file on time or filing a substantially incomplete form can result in a $25,000 penalty. Further penalties may apply if the failure continues after IRS notice. A professional should review the entity and transactions even when revenue is zero.
Prepare the formation record, ownership details, prior filings, bank statements and records of related-party transactions. Keep contributions, distributions, loans and reimbursements identifiable in the books.
Institution coordinates business tax preparation and filing through an appropriately licensed tax professional. That professional prepares and signs the return and determines tax positions.
