How It Works
You select the facts. We format them.
Step 1.Check Eligibility
Answer a short screener to confirm your LLC fits the single-member, foreign-owned disregarded-entity profile this tool supports. If your situation requires a CPA, the screener will tell you before you spend any time.
Step 2.Enter Your Facts
Walk through a guided wizard that asks one question at a time: entity details, shareholder information, and reportable transactions. Every field is filled by you — simple5472 never infers, assumes, or auto-generates data on your behalf.
Step 3.Select Statement Options
If you are filing late, select the factual statements from the list that are true for your situation. You choose the facts and later review and approve the assembled statement — we format your selections into the IRS-expected layout. simple5472 does not evaluate whether the IRS will accept your explanation and does not provide legal or tax advice.
Step 4.Pay & Review
Review every page of your generated filing package before you pay. Nothing is submitted until you have examined the output and confirmed it reflects your facts.
Step 5.Download & File
Download your completed Form 5472, Pro Forma 1120, transaction attachment, and any supporting statements as a single PDF. If you chose fax transmission — available for current-year filings and single-year late filings — we transmit your signed PDF to the IRS fax line as a transmission convenience. You remain the filer of record; the platform does not sign or submit returns for you.
simple5472 is a document formatting tool — not a tax advisor.
You control every field, every selection, and every word that appears on your filing. We do not provide tax advice, legal opinions, or filing recommendations. If you are unsure whether your LLC has a filing obligation or how to characterize a transaction, consult a qualified tax professional.
