Form 5472 and Form 1120: the essentials

Form 5472: what it is and what it is for

An IRS information return. It identifies the foreign owner of the LLC and reports the transactions carried out with that owner during the year: contributions, loans, payment of expenses or collections. It is not a tax return.

Pro forma Form 1120: why it goes with Form 5472

Single-member LLCs do not file a full Form 1120. They file a simplified version, marked “Foreign-owned U.S. DE”, which serves to attach Form 5472. That is why both are always filed together.

Form 5472 penalty: 25,000 USD for not filing

Failing to file on time, or filing a substantially incomplete form, carries a penalty of 25,000 USD per form and per year, even if the LLC owes no tax.

Form 5472: deadline and extension

For calendar-year LLCs, the deadline is April 15 of the following year. Filing Form 7004 before that date extends it to October 15.

Form 5472: required if the LLC had no income?

Usually, yes. The requirement depends on transactions with the owner, not on income: contributing money to the LLC or paying its expenses already counts.

Form 5472 and 1120: how they are filed with the IRS

Foreign-owned LLCs cannot file them electronically. They are sent by fax or mail to the IRS unit designated in the instructions. We prepare and file them for you.

Frequently asked questions

Form 5472: frequently asked questions

Form 5472: who has to file it?

Foreign-owned single-member LLCs that had transactions with their owner during the year, as well as U.S. corporations that are at least 25% foreign-owned. In practice, almost all LLCs owned by non-residents must file.

Form 5472: what happens if the IRS sends me a notice?

If the form is not filed within 90 days after an IRS notice, the penalty increases by 25,000 USD for each additional 30-day period.

Form 5472: do I need an EIN to file it?

Yes. The LLC needs its EIN, which identifies it on both forms.

Form 5472 for prior years: what if I did not file it?

It is advisable to regularize it as soon as possible, as each unfiled year can carry its own penalty. Contact us and we will review your case.

Form 1120 and 5472: do they mean paying taxes in the U.S.?

No. They are information returns and do not generate any payment by themselves. Whether your LLC has other tax obligations depends on its specific activity.
