Who This Is For
You don't have to be a US Formation client to use this service
Formed Elsewhere
You registered your LLC or Corporation with another provider, an agent, or on your own — and now need your federal filings handled correctly.
Non-US Residents
Foreign-owned U.S. companies may have federal information-reporting or return obligations. We specialize in compliance for non-resident owners.
Any Entity Type
Single-member LLCs, multi-member LLCs, and C-Corporations — we prepare the right forms for your structure.
What We File for You
The correct federal forms for your entity type, prepared and submitted for you
Single-Member LLC
Form 5472 + Form 1120 (pro forma)
Foreign-owned single-member LLCs may need Form 5472 with a pro-forma Form 1120 when applicable, even when the owner does not ultimately owe U.S. federal income tax.
Multi-Member LLC
Form 1065 + Schedule K-1
Multi-member LLCs classified as partnerships generally file Form 1065 and issue Schedule K-1 to each member, subject to the company's facts and elections.
Corporation
Form 1120
Corporate income tax return prepared and filed for your US C-Corporation.
Some missed information-reporting obligations can carry substantial penalties, including a $25,000 base penalty for certain Form 5472 failures. Requirements depend on the company's facts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to file if my LLC owes no US tax?
Not every LLC has the same requirement. A company can have federal reporting obligations even when the owner does not ultimately owe U.S. federal income tax. For example, a foreign-owned single-member LLC may need Form 5472 with a pro-forma Form 1120 when applicable. Classification, ownership, activity, and transactions determine the filing obligations.
Can I use this if I didn't form my company with US Formation?
Absolutely. This service is open to any US LLC or Corporation owner, regardless of where or how you formed your company.
What happens if I file late?
The IRS can assess penalties starting at $25,000 for a missing Form 5472. We help you get compliant as quickly as possible to limit your exposure.
