Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to file federal taxes if my LLC had no U.S.-source income?▼

Yes. Foreign-owned U.S. LLCs are generally required to file informational returns (like Form 5472) with the IRS even if they had no U.S.-sourced income or taxable activity.

What is the difference between an informational return and a tax return?▼

An informational return (like Form 5472) discloses your business activity to the IRS, whereas a tax return (like Form 1120) calculates the tax due. We guide you on which applies to your entity.

Are there penalties for missing the filing deadline?▼

Yes, the IRS is very strict. For foreign-owned U.S. entities, the penalty for failing to file Form 5472 on time is severe (starting at $25,000). We prioritize these filings to ensure they are never missed.
