Many founders believe that no income means no filing requirement. The IRS disagrees. A foreign-owned single-member LLC with zero revenue still owes Form 5472 — and a single contribution from the owner is already a reportable transaction. The penalty is $25,000 per year, per form, and it is assessed automatically. THAT'S WHERE I COME IN. I'm an IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA) with an active PTIN and AFSP credential. I prepare the full range of US returns — individual and business, domestic and non-resident — on professional tax software, e-filed directly to the IRS. Foreign-owned entities are my deepest specialty, not my only one. TAX & IRS • Form 5472 + pro-forma 1120 — foreign-owned single-member LLCs • Form 1065 + Schedule K-1 — partnerships, including foreign-partner allocations • Form 1120 / 1120-S — C-corps and S-corps • Form 1040 and 1040-NR — including treaty positions and ECI vs. FDAP classification • Form W-7 / ITIN — processed in-house as a CAA • Penalty relief — Form 843, First-Time Abatement, and Rev. Proc. 84-35 for qualifying small partnerships • IRS notice resolution and multi-year back-filing cleanup FORMATION & CORPORATE • LLC and Corporation formation, all 50 states • EIN for founders with no SSN and no ITIN • Operating agreements, amendments, annual reports, Certificates of Good Standing • US business banking setup (Mercury, Payoneer, Wise , Airwallex) • Dissolution and reinstatement of administratively dissolved entities • US trademark clearance and USPTO filing ALREADY LATE? THAT'S A DIFFERENT SERVICE, NOT A LOST CAUSE. Most people who message me are already past a deadline. Penalty abatement is its own workstream and it works more often than founders expect — I've unwound multi-year non-filing situations for owners who assumed a dormant LLC owed nothing. FOR EA, CPA, AND TAX FIRMS White-label overflow is an established part of my practice, not a side offer. I prepare individual and business returns under your brand, on your workpaper standards, with your review as the final gate — 1040s, 1120-S, 1065, and the foreign-owned entity work most firms don't staff for. Professional software, e-filed. NDA and engagement letter before any client data moves. I don't contact your client. WHY ME, SPECIFICALLY • IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent — I verify your passport myself. It never leaves your hands, never goes to Austin, and never disappears for three months. • Authorized IRS e-file Provider with my own EFIN. Returns are prepared on professional software and transmitted directly to the IRS — not filled in by hand and mailed. • Active PTIN and AFSP credential — I sign as a paid preparer and hold limited representation rights on returns I prepare. • Full-spectrum: individual and business, domestic and non-resident, including S-corp. • 100+ clients worldwide; 89% Job Success across 38 engagements on Upwork. • Fixed fees, quoted in writing before any work starts. HOW WE START 1. Tell me your entity type, state, and ownership structure. I map exactly which forms you owe — and which you don't. 2. Fixed-fee quote in writing, before I begin. 3. Prepared, reviewed with you, filed — plus a calendar of what's due next year. If you're unsure what your LLC actually needs, message me your entity type, state of formation, and whether you've ever filed. I'll tell you your exposure before you hire me.
