What transfer pricing documentation do I need to avoid penalties under IRC 6662(e)?
I've been reading about 'contemporaneous documentation' requirements for transfer pricing and I'm confused about what I actually need to prepare. My foreign-owned LLC does about $500K in revenue with intercompany transactions totaling about $100K per year. Do I need a full-blown transfer pricing study like multinational corporations prepare? What are the specific documentation rules under IRC 6662(e) and how detailed does it need to be?
What does 'contemporaneous' documentation mean — can I prepare it after year-end?
My foreign-owned LLC's tax year ended December 31. I'm just now learning about transfer pricing documentation requirements. My tax return is due in April (or October with extension). Can I still prepare the documentation now and have it count as 'contemporaneous'? Or did I need to have it ready by December 31? I have all the data — I just never put it into a formal document.
What penalties does the IRS impose for transfer pricing violations — the 20% and 40% rules?
I heard the IRS can impose a 20% or even 40% penalty on transfer pricing adjustments. My LLC has about $80K in intercompany transactions and I have minimal documentation. What exactly triggers these penalties? Is it just based on the dollar amount of the adjustment, or does intent matter? Can I avoid penalties after the fact by showing I acted in good faith?
