5-Minute Filing Check
Quick answer first. Filing second. This is a mobile-friendly routing tool for foreign-owned LLC owners who want to see the likely forms, urgency, and next step before committing to a full workflow.
Tell us the shape of the case
These five inputs mirror the decision points that actually change the routing: entity type, foreign ownership, U.S. activity, tax IDs, and timing.
1. Which entity path are you on?
2. Is there foreign ownership?
3. Is U.S. trade or business activity involved?
4. Are the tax IDs ready?
5. What is the timing situation?
You likely need the standard foreign-owned single-member LLC filing.
Start with Form 5472 plus the pro forma 1120 package. That is usually the base annual filing for a foreign-owned disregarded LLC, even with zero revenue.

What the check is noticing
This is the core ForeignLLCTax workflow and the cleanest fit for the product.
If the LLC only had formation costs or foreign-owner transactions, the base filing is usually the main event.
