Questions

Frequently asked questions

About Form 5472, disregarded entities, and our service.

What is IRS Form 5472?
Form 5472 (Information Return of a 25% Foreign-Owned U.S. Corporation or a Foreign Corporation Engaged in a U.S. Trade or Business) is required by the IRS for any U.S. disregarded entity that is 25% or more foreign-owned. It reports transactions between the entity and its foreign owner or related parties.
What is a disregarded entity?
A disregarded entity is a business structure — most commonly a single-member LLC (SMLLC) — that the IRS treats as inseparable from its owner for federal income tax purposes. Foreign-owned single-member LLCs are classified as disregarded entities but must still file Form 5472 annually.
Why do I need Form 1120 alongside Form 5472?
The IRS requires foreign-owned disregarded entities to file a "pro forma" Form 1120 as a cover sheet for Form 5472. The 1120 is not a full corporate return — it only serves as the transmittal document. Both forms are filed together, with "Foreign-owned U.S. DE" written across the top.
What is the deadline for filing Form 5472?
Form 5472 (with the pro forma 1120) is due by the 15th day of the 4th month after the end of the tax year — April 15 for calendar-year entities. An extension to October 15 is available by filing Form 7004 by April 15.
How does faxing to the IRS work?
Foreign-owned disregarded entities must file Form 5472 by fax or mail to a specific IRS address — not electronically. We fax your completed forms directly to the IRS Ogden Service Center fax line (855-887-7737) via Telnyx and return the delivery confirmation to you. You press send; the receipt is yours.
What are the penalties for not filing Form 5472?
The IRS imposes a $25,000 penalty per Form 5472 for failure to file or for filing an incomplete form. Additional penalties can apply for each 30-day period the violation continues after IRS notification.
Can I still file Form 5472 after April 15?
Yes. You can still submit Form 5472 and the pro forma 1120 after the deadline. Our workflow supports late filing and can add a reasonable-cause statement to the packet.
What counts as a reportable transaction?
Reportable transactions include any monetary or non-monetary exchange between the disregarded entity and a foreign or domestic related party — including sales, loans, rent, royalties, compensation, and capital contributions.
Do I have to file if my LLC had no transactions?
Possibly. Even with no income or expenses, certain events — forming the LLC, a capital contribution from the foreign owner, or dissolution — count as reportable transactions and require Form 5472. When in doubt, filing is safer than a $25,000 penalty.
Do you store my data?
Your data is private to you — reachable only through your own secure link, never shared with anyone. We keep it so you can re-download your package and we can issue your receipt, and you stay in control: you can delete your data yourself at any time from your order. If you opt in, we'll also remind you next year, since Form 5472 is filed annually.
Do you provide tax or legal advice?
No — we do not provide tax or legal advice. Vellum Crown is a self-service document-preparation tool. What we do: we prepare your filing package from the information you enter, built to the US filing rules that are in force at the time of filing, so the report you receive is current with US law on that date. You review, sign, and file it yourself. See our Terms.
