The filing is mandatory — and missing it carries a penalty starting at $25,000.

The rule is short and unforgiving: every foreign-owned single-member US LLC must submit Form 5472, attached to Form 1120, with the IRS every year. Most budget formation services open your company and never say a word about this. Owners usually find out from an IRS letter — after the damage is done.
