Got Questions?
We Have Answers.

Common questions about foreign-owned LLCs, FBAR, PFIC, and U.S. tax compliance — answered by our qualified tax team.

What is a foreign-owned single member LLC and what are its U.S. tax filing requirements?
A foreign-owned single member LLC (SMLLC) is a U.S. LLC owned entirely by a non-U.S. person or entity. The IRS treats it as a disregarded entity, but it still has significant reporting obligations. The primary requirement is filing Form 5472 along with a Pro Forma Form 1120 to report all reportable transactions between the LLC and its foreign owner. Failure to file can result in a $25,000 penalty per violation.
What is the filing due date for a foreign-owned single member LLC (Form 5472)?
The filing deadline for Form 5472 (attached to Pro Forma 1120) is April 15th for calendar year filers. If the LLC uses a fiscal year, it is due on the 15th day of the 4th month after the tax year ends. An automatic 6-month extension is available by filing Form 7004 by the original due date, extending the deadline to October 15th.
How can a foreign-owned LLC file a tax extension?
To file an extension for a foreign-owned single member LLC, you must file Form 7004 by April 15th. This grants an automatic 6-month extension, moving the filing deadline to October 15th. The extension must be filed timely — late extension requests are not accepted. Our team can file your extension and ensure you avoid the steep $25,000 penalty for late Form 5472 submissions.
What transactions must be reported on Form 5472?
Form 5472 requires reporting of all reportable transactions between the foreign-owned LLC and its foreign owner or related parties. These include: capital contributions, distributions, loans, sales or transfers of property, and services rendered. Even if the LLC had no income, if any of these transactions occurred, Form 5472 must be filed.
What is the penalty for not filing Form 5472 on time?
The IRS imposes a $25,000 penalty per Form 5472 that is not filed, filed late, or incomplete. If the failure continues after IRS notification, an additional $25,000 per 30-day period may apply. Penalty abatement may be possible with reasonable cause. Our EA team has experience handling IRS penalty abatement requests on behalf of clients.
Does a foreign-owned LLC with no income still need to file?
Yes. Even if your foreign-owned LLC had zero income or was dormant, if there were any reportable transactions (including capital contributions used to open a bank account or pay formation fees), Form 5472 must be filed. Many business owners mistakenly believe a "zero activity" LLC has no filing obligations — this is incorrect and can result in the $25,000 penalty.
What is FBAR and who needs to file it?
FBAR (Foreign Bank Account Report) — officially FinCEN Form 114 — must be filed by any U.S. person who has a financial interest in or signature authority over foreign financial accounts where the aggregate value exceeded $10,000 at any point during the calendar year. This includes bank accounts, investment accounts, mutual funds, and certain insurance products held outside the U.S.
What is the FBAR filing deadline?
The FBAR is due on April 15th, with an automatic extension to October 15th — no extension request needed. The FBAR is filed electronically through the FinCEN BSA E-Filing system, not with your regular tax return. Our team files FBAR separately alongside your complete tax compliance package.
What are the penalties for not filing FBAR?
FBAR penalties are severe. For non-willful violations, penalties can reach up to $10,000 per violation per year. For willful violations, penalties can reach $100,000 or 50% of the account balance per year, plus potential criminal prosecution. If you have missed FBAR filings, the IRS has amnesty programs including the Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures that can significantly reduce penalties.
What is a PFIC and why does it matter for non-residents and foreign investors?
A Passive Foreign Investment Company (PFIC) is a foreign corporation where 75%+ of gross income is passive, or 50%+ of assets produce passive income. Common PFICs include foreign mutual funds and ETFs. U.S. taxpayers who own PFICs must file Form 8621 annually. The default tax treatment is extremely punitive. Making a QEF or MTM election can significantly reduce the tax burden.
Do Indian mutual funds qualify as PFICs for U.S. tax purposes?
Yes — Indian mutual funds almost always qualify as PFICs under U.S. tax law. This is one of the most common issues for non-residents and foreign nationals with U.S. tax obligations. Each mutual fund requires a separate Form 8621 filing. Our team specializes in PFIC analysis and election strategies to minimize your tax burden on foreign investments.
What is the difference between FBAR and FATCA (Form 8938)?
Both report foreign financial assets but are separate requirements. FBAR (FinCEN 114) is filed with FinCEN, has a $10,000 threshold, and covers all foreign financial accounts. Form 8938 (FATCA) is filed with your tax return, has higher thresholds ($50,000 for single filers in the U.S.), and covers foreign financial assets more broadly. You may need to file both — they are not substitutes for each other.
As a non-resident, do I need to file a U.S. tax return?
It depends on your U.S. tax status and income sources. If you are a U.S. citizen or Green Card holder, you must file on worldwide income regardless of where you live. If you are a non-resident alien with U.S.-sourced income (rental, investment, business), you must file Form 1040-NR. Additionally, foreign-owned LLC owners and those with U.S. bank accounts may have separate reporting requirements.
How do I file an extension for my individual tax return?
File Form 4868 by April 15th to get an automatic 6-month extension, moving your deadline to October 15th. For non-residents filing 1040-NR with no U.S. wages, the original deadline is June 15th, with extension to December 15th. An extension gives you more time to file, not more time to pay — any taxes owed are still due by April 15th.
What is an ITIN and how do I apply for one?
An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is issued by the IRS to individuals required to file a U.S. tax return but ineligible for a Social Security Number — primarily non-residents and their dependents. You apply using Form W-7, submitted with your tax return and identity documents. Our team assists with ITIN applications and can guide you through the process without mailing your original passport.
Can I claim the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE)?
The FEIE allows qualifying U.S. citizens and resident aliens living abroad to exclude up to $126,500 (2024) of foreign earned income from U.S. taxation. To qualify, you must meet either the Bona Fide Residence Test or the Physical Presence Test (330 days outside the U.S.). You claim it using Form 2555. This can result in significant tax savings for expats and Americans working abroad.

Built on Trust.
Proven Through Filings.

Your financial compliance is not just a filing obligation — it is the foundation your business stands on.

I founded Finora Tax & Accounting Services LLC with one clear purpose — to give foreign-owned businesses, partnerships, C-Corps, and S-Corps operating across borders the same level of hands-on U.S. tax support that was previously only accessible to large corporations.

Having seen firsthand how costly a missed Form 5472, an unfiled FBAR, or an overlooked PFIC reporting requirement can be, I built Finora to be the firm that has filed those forms, corrected those mistakes, and kept clients protected and one step ahead of their obligations.

At Finora, every client is a priority — not a number. Whether you are filing your first U.S. return or running a cross-border partnership, our team brings the precision, care, and direct filing experience your situation deserves.

I personally oversee every engagement to ensure the quality and accuracy that Finora stands for. I look forward to being your trusted partner in U.S. tax and accounting.
