Does Stripe Atlas file Form 5472 for me?

No. Stripe Atlas helps you form the LLC, open a Stripe account, and get an EIN. Stripe Atlas does not provide ongoing tax compliance services, does not prepare Form 5472, and does not file Form 5472 on your behalf. Once your LLC is formed, all annual IRS filing obligations are your responsibility.

Does Doola file Form 5472 for me?

Doola offers formation services and some compliance add-ons. However, their standard plans do not include IRS Form 5472 preparation and filing. If you are a non-US resident who formed a single-member LLC through Doola, you need a separate service or CPA to handle your annual Form 5472 filing.

I formed my LLC through Firstbase — is Form 5472 included in my plan?

Firstbase focuses on company formation, registered agent, and compliance reminders. Form 5472 preparation and IRS filing are generally not included in standard Firstbase plans. Check your specific plan documentation, but in most cases you will need additional tax help.

When does my Form 5472 obligation start — in the year I formed the LLC?

Yes. Your Form 5472 obligation begins in the first tax year in which any reportable transaction occurred. Since the formation fees paid on your behalf are capital contributions (a reportable transaction), the obligation typically starts in the year of formation, even if you had no customers.

I received a Stripe Atlas 'Tax Filing Guide' email — does that handle everything?

Stripe Atlas sends informational emails about US tax obligations as a courtesy. These guides describe what you owe but Stripe does not complete or submit the filings. The actual preparation and submission of Form 5472 remains entirely your responsibility.
