What is the IRS Ogden address for Form 5472?

The permitted mailing address can change and may depend on the entity classification and filing package. Check the current Form 5472 instructions before using an IRS mailing address, fax number, or other submission method.

Can I use a courier service like FedEx or UPS to mail Form 5472?

Yes. FedEx, UPS, and DHL are IRS-designated private delivery services under IRC § 7502(f). Using these services gives you the same legal 'timely mailing = timely filing' protection as USPS certified mail, provided you use an IRS-approved service type (e.g., FedEx First Overnight, FedEx Priority Overnight, UPS Next Day Air Early, DHL Express). Keep the shipping receipt as your proof.

How long does it take for the IRS Ogden center to process a mailed Form 5472?

Processing times vary significantly. During peak filing season (February–May), processing can take 6–12 weeks after receipt. The IRS does not send acknowledgment letters for Form 5472 submissions, so you won't receive confirmation that your form was processed. You can check by calling the IRS Business line (1-800-829-4933) approximately 8 weeks after filing.

Do I need to include any payment with my Form 5472 mailing?

No payment is due with Form 5472 for most foreign-owned single-member LLCs. Form 5472 is an information return with no associated tax. If your LLC is taxed as a corporation and owes income tax, that payment is made separately with Form 1120.

What if my envelope is postmarked by April 15 but arrives after that date?

Under IRC § 7502, a document is considered timely filed if it is postmarked (or given to a designated delivery service) by the due date, even if the IRS receives it after that date. This is the 'timely mailing = timely filing' rule. The postmark date controls, not the arrival date. This is why certified mail with a stamped postmark is important evidence.
