Common questions
My U.S. LLC had no income. Do I still have to file?
Usually, yes. A U.S. single-member LLC owned by a foreign person generally must file Form 5472 with a pro forma Form 1120 for any year it has reportable transactions with its owner, including money used to form or fund it. The penalty for not filing starts at $25,000.
Can you work with my accountant in my home country?
Yes. We handle the U.S. filings and coordinate with your local accountant so both sides report the same facts.
