We build the Form 5472 and the pro forma 1120 from your answers — correct codes, correct boxes, correct format.

Your filing goes to the IRS Ogden PIN Unit by fax. You get the transmission receipt as proof.

Retain this receipt with your tax records for at least 7 years (IRS records-retention guidance).
Built for foreign-owned single-member LLCs.
If you live outside the US and own a Delaware, Wyoming, or any other single-member LLC, the IRS classifies you as a disregarded entity with a reporting requirement. Even with zero revenue, even with no US bank account, even if you never set foot in the country — Form 5472 is still due. Missing it is a flat $25,000 penalty per year.
Snapfile exists because hiring a US CPA to file one form costs $500–$2,000. That math doesn't work when your LLC made $0. So we built the simplest version: answer the questions, sign once, done.
Sign on your phone. Pay with any card. We accept passport-based ID for the owner — no ITIN, no SSN required.
If you upload statements to extract transaction totals, we read them in memory and discard them. Only the IRS fax receipt is retained as proof of filing.
We auto-flag late filings under DIIRSP and include a reasonable-cause letter requesting penalty abatement. +$69 per extra year.

Quick answers
Do I need to file Form 5472 if my LLC made no money?+
Yes. Form 5472 is required for any foreign-owned US single-member LLC with a reportable transaction — and the IRS treats the initial capital you contributed to open the LLC as a reportable transaction (IRS, Form 5472 instructions). Zero revenue does not waive the filing.
What is the penalty for not filing Form 5472?+
$25,000 per form, per year (IRS, IRC §6038A). An additional $25,000 applies if the IRS sends a notice and the form is not filed within 90 days. Voluntary late filings under DIIRSP with a reasonable-cause statement are typically accepted without penalty.
Where do I fax Form 5472 to the IRS?+
Form 5472 with its required pro forma Form 1120 attachment is faxed to the IRS Ogden PIN Unit at +1-855-887-7737 (IRS). Paper mail to 1973 Rulon White Blvd., M/S 6112, Ogden, UT 84201 is also accepted. Foreign-owned disregarded LLCs cannot e-file.
Can I file Form 5472 without a CPA?+
Yes. Form 5472 is a disclosure form, not a tax calculation — anyone with the LLC's basic information and a list of related-party transactions can complete it. Snapfile prepares the form, the pro forma 1120, and any DIIRSP letter from 12 questions for $89 all in.
