International Tax Frequently Asked Questions

Form 5472 is an annual IRS informational report required when a 25% or greater foreign-owned U.S. corporation or a foreign-owned single-member LLC (treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. tax purposes) engages in reportable transactions with related parties. Because failure to file or filing incomplete forms triggers severe statutory penalties ($25,000 per applicable form under IRC Section 6038A), proper technical analysis of entity tax classification and reportable transaction flows is essential.
Under FIRPTA, the buyer or closing agent must generally withhold up to 15% of the gross sales price when acquiring a U.S. real property interest from a foreign person, unless specific statutory exemptions apply. ACP Tax Advisory assists foreign sellers with preparing IRS Form 8288-B (Application for Withholding Certificate) prior to closing to seek reduced withholding based on the actual maximum tax liability, or preparing post-closing Form 1040-NR returns to claim eligible refund balances.
A foreign-owned single-member LLC treated as a disregarded entity must file Form 5472 along with a pro forma Form 1120 if any reportable transactions occurred during the tax year (such as initial capital contributions, payment of formation costs, owner loans, or routine business expenditures), even if the company earned zero commercial revenue.
