Tax filling expert
About this Gig
Hey! I'm your dedicated US tax specialist that focused on rescuing non-resident owners of foreign-owned US LLCs from the IRS's brutal Form 5472 penalties. Nothing gets me more fired up than turning a scary IRS notice or the dread of one into full compliance and real relief.
If you've missed filing Form 5472 attached to pro forma Form 1120 for past years (2023, 2024, or earlier), you're not alone. Thousands of international entrepreneurs (e-com sellers, SaaS founders, investors from Europe, Asia, Africa, everywhere) wake up to $25,000 per year penalties.
It's terrifying, but the good news? Late filing is still possible, and many qualify for penalty abatement or reduction through reasonable cause statements, first-time abatement (FTA) eligibility or strong abatement requests.
The IRS doesn't forget, but they do forgive when handled right. Let's file those late Form 5472 and 1120 returns, build your abatement case, and get you back in good standing fast.

FAQ
Can I still file Form 5472 & pro forma Form 1120 even if I missed the deadline for previous years (e.g., 2023, 2024)?
Yes, You can file late/deliquent returns at any time. Filing now stops the continuation penalties ($25,000 every 30 days after IRS notice) and positions you for penalty abatement. Many clients come to me after receiving a notice and we get their back years filed quickly and cleanly.
How much are the penalties for late or missing Form 5472, and can they really be reduced or avoided?
The standard penalty is $25,000 per failure (per year, per related party if multiple). Continuation penalties of $25,000 apply every 30 days after IRS notification.
What is a 'reasonable cause statement' and will it help reduce my penalties?
It’s a written explanation attached to your late filing that shows why the delay happened (e.g., lack of awareness, language barriers, no prior US tax experience), that you acted in good faith, and corrected it promptly.
What documents do I need to send you for a late filing and abatement request?
Basics: LLC EIN, Articles of Organization, foreign owner details (name, address, ID), any reportable transactions from the missed years (even if small or zero), and a copy of any IRS notice (CP15, CP259, etc.) if received.
Can you help if I’ve already received an IRS penalty notice or paid a fine?
Yes, that’s one of my specialties. If you’ve received a notice or already paid, we can still file the delinquent returns and submit a Form 843 (Claim for Refund/Abatement) or reasonable cause request to seek a refund or waiver.
Do these late filings get e-filed, or is it fax/mail only?
For foreign-owned disregarded entities, Form 5472 attached to pro forma Form 1120 is faxed or mailed to the IRS Ogden Service Center (no e-file option).
