Company details

  1. Tax Preparation Software

Written by the company

5472Direct is a self-service document preparation platform for foreign-owned single-member U.S. LLC owners who need to prepare Form 5472 and Pro Forma 1120. It is built for straightforward cases where a founder mainly wants a guided online workflow instead of a slow, expensive manual process. Customers enter their LLC and foreign owner information, import transactions through Plaid or add them manually, and generate IRS-ready PDF documents based on the information they provide. Eligible customers can also add IRS Direct Delivery and receive a delivery receipt after transmission is enabled. For customers who need more time, 5472Direct also offers a free Form 7004 extension workflow. Many founders discover this filing requirement only after forming a U.S. LLC, even though missing the deadline can lead to significant IRS penalties. 5472Direct is designed to make that process clearer, faster, and more accessible for standard situations. 5472Direct is not a CPA firm, law firm, or tax advisory service. It is a document preparation tool for certain foreign-owned single-member LLC filings, and users with complex ownership structures or tax judgment questions should work with a licensed CPA or tax advisor. Customers can contact the team at support@5472direct.com for product support and help using the platform.

Excellent Service for Foreign LLC…

Excellent Service for Foreign LLC Owners

I had an excellent experience working with 5472Direct.

As a first-time foreign founder, I was navigating the Form 5472 and Pro Forma Form 1120 filing requirements for a newly formed U.S. LLC, and the process initially felt quite overwhelming. Thibault was consistently responsive, professional, and patient throughout the entire process.

The platform made it easy to prepare the filing package, and whenever I had questions regarding my specific situation, I received clear and timely responses. What impressed me most was their attention to detail and willingness to help ensure that my filing package was properly aligned before submission.

Throughout the process, I never felt rushed. I was able to review the documents, ask questions, make corrections, and proceed only when I felt comfortable. As a foreign entrepreneur with no prior experience in U.S. tax compliance, that level of support was extremely valuable.

I highly recommend 5472Direct to other foreign-owned LLC owners looking for an affordable and professional solution for Form 5472 compliance.

Thank you, 5472Direct, for your professionalism, transparency, and support. I look forward to working with you again as my company continues to grow.

Fast and reliable filing service

The process was straightforward and easy to follow. Everything was clearly explained, and the platform guided me step by step without confusion.

What I liked most is how fast the service was — my documents were submitted the same day, and I received a confirmation right after. That gave me peace of mind, especially with a deadline involved.

The system is simple to use, and you don’t need advanced knowledge to complete everything correctly. Overall, a smooth and reliable experience.

It’s a bit on the expensive side, but it does save time and removes the stress of doing it yourself.

Smooth & Reliable IRS Filing Experience

I recently used 5472Direct to file my Form 5472 and pro forma 1120 for my US LLC, and I’m genuinely impressed with the experience. As a non-US founder, navigating IRS compliance can be complex, but their platform made the entire process clear, efficient, and stress-free.

What stood out most was the simplicity of their system and the confidence it gave me at each step. The submission was handled promptly, and I received confirmation of successful delivery to the IRS without any complications.

I also appreciate the transparency and reliability of their service. It’s reassuring to know there’s a solution designed specifically for international founders who want to stay compliant without unnecessary difficulty.

I would confidently recommend 5472Direct to anyone in a similar situation looking for a professional and dependable filing service.

5472 Direct was super easy to use

5472 Direct was super easy to use, and saved me a lot of stress and anxiety. I was only about 2 weeks out from the filing deadline, and I couldn't find any accountants on short notice to help me out. I am paranoid about filling forms like this myself as I feel like I'm very prone to mistakes, so 5472 Direct made things much easier. They were also super responsive in email and very helpful within the scope of their service!

Excelent service

Excelent service. You can really see they care about each process. Specially for non-savy in tax related matters. It's a life saver.
It's not just an automatic web we're you are left alone. In my case they reached out suggested some edits that I was missing and really helped in all the process.
Great services and really recommended .

I had a really great experience using 5472Direct

I had a really great experience using 5472Direct for my LLC filing.

As someone running a U.S. company from outside the United States, the process can be quite confusing, especially with forms like 5472 and the pro forma 1120. I received excellent support from **Thibault**, who helped me through the process. The support was incredibly fast, clear, and efficient.

Whenever I had a question, I received an almost immediate response, and everything was explained in a way that made the filing process much easier to understand. It made a big difference knowing someone knowledgeable was available to help, especially when dealing with U.S. tax requirements from a foreign country.

Overall, the service was smooth, professional, and very efficient. I really appreciate the help and would definitely recommend 5472Direct to other foreign founders who need to handle their U.S. LLC compliance.
