US Taxation
US tax compliance.
Handled completely.
Foreign-owned US companies face more tax filing requirements than domestic ones — and most general accountants miss them. We specialize in the cross-border US tax environment precisely because most firms don't.
What's included
We prepare and file all required federal and state tax returns for your US entity. For foreign-owned companies, this includes specialized forms that most accountants do not routinely prepare — Form 5472 for foreign-owned corporations, transfer pricing documentation, and FBAR filings where applicable.
We also manage estimated quarterly tax payments throughout the year, so you're never hit with underpayment penalties. And we handle all IRS and state tax agency correspondence — you don't need to know how to talk to the IRS; that's our job.
Who this is for
Any US entity with foreign shareholders, foreign parent companies, or cross-border intercompany transactions. Also US entities that have grown to the point where state nexus, sales tax, or transfer pricing obligations have become material.
We are particularly experienced with India-US structures — where FEMA, RBI, and US tax treaty considerations intersect — and with founders who split their time between countries and face individual-level US tax questions alongside their company obligations.
Frequently asked questions
Form 5472 is an information return required by the IRS for US corporations that are 25% or more foreign-owned. It reports transactions between the US company and its related foreign parties — including loans, royalties, rent, and management fees. Penalties for failure to file are steep ($25,000 per form, per year). If your US entity has any foreign shareholders or is owned by a foreign company or individual, Form 5472 almost certainly applies to you.
US entities are generally required to pay estimated federal income taxes quarterly (April, June, September, January) if they expect to owe more than $500 in tax for the year. State estimated tax requirements vary by state. We calculate your estimated payments, prepare the vouchers, and ensure you pay on time to avoid underpayment penalties.
Yes. Most US entities are required to file a federal return regardless of revenue. C-Corps file Form 1120; LLCs file depending on their tax election. Additionally, Form 5472 is required for foreign-owned entities even in years with zero revenue, as long as reportable transactions occurred. Failure to file when no taxes are owed still results in penalties.
Yes. We handle both federal and state income tax filings. The states your company is subject to depend on where you are incorporated, where you have employees or significant customers (nexus), and what activities you conduct in each state. We perform a nexus analysis as part of our onboarding to ensure we capture all states where you have filing obligations.
We handle IRS correspondence on your behalf. If you receive a notice — whether it's a CP2000, an audit request, or a simple balance due notice — you forward it to us and we respond. For most routine IRS correspondence for our clients, we resolve it within 30–45 days. For audit situations, we will advise you whether we can handle it directly or whether you need representation by a licensed attorney.
