Foreign Tax Compliance
Owning U.S. companies or property from abroad comes with filings most domestic preparers never see — and penalties that start at five figures when they're missed.
We handle the U.S. side for foreign owners: Form 5472 with pro forma 1120 for foreign-owned single-member LLCs (the penalty for missing it is $25,000), FIRPTA withholding on real estate sales, nonresident returns (1040-NR), and ITINs through our in-house Certifying Acceptance Agent.
What's included
- Form 5472 + pro forma 1120 for foreign-owned disregarded LLCs
- FIRPTA analysis: withholding certificates and refund filings
- Form 1040-NR preparation with treaty positions where applicable
- ITIN applications through our Certifying Acceptance Agent
- Rental income elections and depreciation for nonresident landlords
- Coordination with your home-country advisor on request
Nonresidents without U.S. wage withholding generally have a June 15 filing deadline; foreign-owned LLC Form 5472 follows the entity's return deadline. FIRPTA withholding is generally 15% of the gross sale price — often more than the actual tax, which is why refund filings matter. Worked numbers — including the FBAR/8938/5471 side for U.S. residents with assets abroad — are in the Cross-Border Filings guide.
Entity details, every owner, and the reportable transactions — captured once, completely, in a packet you save as a PDF. Bilingual and private in your browser; the $25,000 penalty is for incomplete filings, so intake is where the case is won.
Who this is for
- Foreign owners of U.S. single-member LLCs (Form 5472 filers)
- Nonresidents selling U.S. real estate (FIRPTA withholding)
- Nonresidents with U.S. rental income or business activity
- Investors using tax-treaty positions that must be documented
