Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to file a US tax return if my LLC made no money?

Yes. Non-resident single-member LLC owners must file Form 5472 with Pro Forma 1120 every year, regardless of income. The IRS penalty for not filing is $25,000 per form.

When is the US tax filing deadline for non-residents?

Form 5472 is due April 15. Form 1065 is due March 15. Form 1120 and Form 1040-NR are due April 15 for most filers. Extensions are available but must be requested before the deadline.

What is Form 5472 and does it apply to me?

Form 5472 is required for US LLCs that are owned by a non-US person and treated as disregarded entities. If you are a non-resident who formed a single-member US LLC, this form almost certainly applies to you.

Can Rocket Wave handle my filing if I have no US income?

Yes. The 5472 + Pro Forma 1120 package is specifically designed for non-resident LLC owners with a disregarded entity and zero US-source income.

What are the obligations for a Multi Member LLC?

Primarily, a Multi Member LLC has to file Form 1065. Additional forms have to be attached to the Form 1065, depending on the resident status. For each member who is a US Resident you have to file Forms 1040 and 1120. For each Non-Resident member, Forms 1040-NR and 1120-NR.

What documents do I need to provide?

Typically: your EIN, any US income records, bank statements for the year, and your prior year’s return if applicable. Our team sends you a tailored checklist after the eligibility review.

Does Rocket Wave handle state tax filings as well?

Our federal tax filing service covers IRS filings only. State-level obligations vary and are separate. Contact us to discuss your specific state requirements.

File Before the Deadline. Avoid the Penalty.

The IRS applies automatic penalties for late and missing returns. Our team ensures your federal tax return is filed correctly and on time — every year.
