Form 5472: the penalty is $25,000

Every US LLC with at least one foreign owner must file the Form 5472 + pro-forma 1120 with the IRS by April 15 of each year.

Without Incorpo

You need to find a US CPA, pay $1,500-$2,500/year extra, manage deadlines yourself. If you forget: a penalty of $25,000.

With Incorpo Essential

Form 5472 is already included in the plan. We notify you 30 and 7 days in advance. We prepare it, you sign digitally. Zero stress.

Real example: Mario opens an LLC in 2025 and forgets the Form 5472. In 2026 the IRS sends him a $25,000 penalty. With the Starter plan (without Form 5472 included), the real cost becomes: €399 + $2,000 (CPA) = €2,200+/year. With Essential: €699/year, all included.

8 FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to have the LLC operational?

The LLC is registered in 3-5 business days. The EIN arrives in 5-15 days from the IRS. In total, within about 2-3 weeks the LLC is fully operational with a US bank account.

Do I need to travel to the US?

No. The entire process is 100% online. Document signing is digital, the Registered Agent is in Wyoming, and the bank account is opened remotely through Mercury or Relay.

What happens if I have issues during the formation?

Our team supports you via chat and email in Italian, Spanish, French, German and English. With the Complete plan you get priority support with a response within 4 hours.

Why Wyoming and not Delaware?

For 95% of non-US founders, Wyoming is the best choice: zero annual franchise tax (Delaware costs $300/year extra), maximum privacy, lower costs. Delaware is recommended only if you plan to raise US venture capital.

What is the Registered Agent and why is it needed?

The Registered Agent is a legal representative with a physical address in Wyoming who receives official correspondence on behalf of the LLC. It is required by law. Incorpo includes it in all plans.

Can I use the LLC to sell worldwide?

Yes. A US LLC can invoice clients in any country. You can accept payments via Stripe, PayPal, bank transfer, and open a Mercury account to receive USD.

Do I have to pay taxes in the US?

A single-member LLC owned by a non-US resident generally does not pay US federal taxes (it is a "disregarded entity"). However, you must file Form 5472 every year (included in the Essential plan) and pay taxes in your country of residence.

What exactly does Form 5472 include?

Form 5472 is an informational return that documents all transactions between the LLC and the foreign owner. The penalty for non-filing is $25,000. With the Essential plan, we prepare it and you sign digitally.
