Foreign-Owned LLC Compliance Membership
If you own a U.S. company from abroad, it comes with recurring federal and state filings that are easy to lose track of from another country. This is one annual membership that keeps a foreign-owned U.S. entity compliant: the Form 5472 and 1120, registered agent, annual report, and IRS monitoring, all prepared and signed by an Enrolled Agent.
Free. No commitment. We assess your situation in 15 minutes.
In short: One annual membership that handles the recurring filings a foreign-owned U.S. LLC owes: Form 5472 and pro-forma 1120, registered agent, state annual report, beneficial ownership report where it applies, and IRS account monitoring. It is $2,295 per year, about $518 less than buying each piece separately, prepared by an Enrolled Agent with no data lock-in. It is for non-U.S. founders who run a U.S. LLC or corporation and want the compliance handled by one person instead of pieced together.
What a Foreign-Owned Company Owes Each Year
Opening a U.S. LLC from abroad is easy. Formation platforms make the setup painless and then hand you the keys. What they rarely explain is that a foreign-owned U.S. company carries recurring federal and state obligations that begin the moment the entity exists, whether or not it earns a dollar.
The main one is Form 5472. A foreign-owned single-member LLC generally must file it with a pro-forma Form 1120 every year it has a reportable transaction. The penalty for filing it late is $25,000 per form, so it is worth getting right. Many founders are simply never told about it at setup.
A membership fixes the pattern. Instead of trying to remember a filing calendar in a country you may not live in, you have one Enrolled Agent who tracks what is due, prepares it, and tells you before anything is late.
Who This Is For
- Non-U.S. residents who own a U.S. LLC or corporation
- Amazon and e-commerce sellers formed in Wyoming, Delaware, or elsewhere
- Founders who used a formation platform and now need the filings handled
- Anyone who has fallen behind on a filing and wants to get current
- Owners who want one relationship, not a stack of separate vendors
Everything Your Foreign-Owned Entity Owes, In One Place

Signed By an Enrolled Agent
Every return is prepared and signed by an Enrolled Agent admitted to practice before the IRS. The same person who files can represent you if a question ever comes back.
Your Data Stays Yours
Your records are encrypted and handled under a written information security plan aligned with the FTC Safeguards Rule. They are also exportable at any time, with no proprietary platform holding them hostage and no penalty for leaving.
One Relationship
Formation, the annual filings, bookkeeping, and sales tax can all sit with one firm. You explain your situation once and it stays understood, year over year.
