Questions we hear most

I own a U.S. LLC from abroad and it made no money. Do I still file?

Yes. A foreign-owned single-member LLC must file Form 5472 with a pro-forma 1120 every year even with zero activity. The penalty for not filing is $25,000 per form.

I forgot to report a foreign bank account.

This is common and usually fixable through the streamlined or delinquent-filing procedures, with reduced or no penalty when handled correctly. Do not file a quiet correction.
