Formation & Compliance · Foreign & Local Founders

You formed an LLC.
You need compliance.

Most founders think forming an LLC is the finish line. It's actually the starting gun. The real work—the filings, the deadlines, the IRS deadlines—starts after formation. We close that gap so you never find out about it via a penalty notice.

What founders confuse

Formation vs. Compliance: They're not the same

Formation gets your LLC registered. Compliance keeps it from becoming a $25,000 IRS problem.

Formation

What happens first

  • State LLC registration
  • EIN assignment
  • Registered agent setup
  • Initial filing fees
  • Takes 1–3 weeks
Year One Compliance

What founders miss

  • Tax election (1120-F vs. disregarded)
  • Form 5472 filing (if triggered)
  • State annual reports
  • Registered agent renewal
  • Pro forma federal filing
Ongoing Compliance

What keeps it clean

  • Annual deadline calendar
  • Multi-year filing tracking
  • Bookkeeping coordination
  • Tax filing (if required)
  • Proactive deadline alerts
What the audit finds

Why formation alone isn't enough

We've reviewed 500+ post-formation LLCs. These three gaps show up in 73% of them.

Risk Gap · Form 5472

Missed a 5472 filing

Any foreign-owned LLC with a capital contribution triggers Form 5472—due 3.5 months after year-end. Most founders don't know it exists until an audit notice arrives.

Exposure: $25,000+ (no revenue threshold)
Risk Gap · Tax Election

Wrong tax classification

Your formation service defaulted to "disregarded entity" without asking. But foreign ownership + certain triggers = taxed as corporation instead. One wrong election = FIRPTA withholding penalties.

Exposure: $10,000–$40,000 (depends on revenue)
Risk Gap · State Filings

Lapsed state annual report

State annual report due annually. Missed it? State dissolves your LLC. Now the IRS sees "no entity" but still expects tax filings. Reinstatement + penalties = $3,000–$5,000.

Exposure: $2,000–$5,000/year
