Pricing
Flat prices, published up front
You know the cost before you start. Prices are starting points; complex situations are quoted in writing before any work begins, and we never charge a percentage of a refund.
| Service | What it covers | Who it is for | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Form 5472 + 1120 | Annual information return, prepared and signed by a professional tax preparer, filed by mail/fax | Foreign-owned U.S. LLC (incl. dormant) | $349 |
| Form 5472 — past-due year | A missed year brought current: Form 5472 with the pro forma 1120, plus a reasonable cause statement. We prepare and submit the request properly; whether the IRS grants relief is their decision. | Foreign-owned LLC that missed a filing deadline | $449 / tax year |
| Express preparation — 48 hours | Your Form 5472 + pro forma 1120 prepared within 48 hours (business days) of complete documents. Express slots are limited; availability is confirmed in writing before any payment. | Deadline-critical filings | +$149 |
| Form 7004 (extension) | Extends the Form 1120 deadline to 15 October. Must be filed by the original due date — it cannot be filed after the deadline has passed. | Foreign-owned LLC filing on time | $79 |
| EIN application | U.S. tax ID for a non-resident owner without an SSN ($49 bundled with your first 5472) | New foreign-owned LLC / corporation | $129 |
| Address change (state + IRS) | Secretary of State update plus IRS Form 8822-B; state fee passed through at cost | Existing LLC updating its records | $70 |
| Address change (IRS only) | Form 8822-B update with the IRS | Existing LLC, federal record only | $39 |
| Wyoming annual report | Prepared and filed with the Secretary of State; the $60 state fee is passed through at cost. Due the first day of your anniversary month. | Wyoming LLCs | $99 |
| Form W-8BEN-E | Certificate of foreign status for your LLC, prepared for the payer or platform that asked for it. | LLCs asked for a W-8 by a customer or marketplace | $79 |
| ITIN application (Form W-7) | The personal U.S. tax ID for people not eligible for an SSN. We handle it alongside the return that creates the need — normally filed together with that return, not on its own. Quoted once we can see your document position, since that decides which verification route is open. | Non-residents needing a personal U.S. tax ID | Quoted |
| Form 1040-NR | Non-resident income tax return, prepared and signed by a professional tax preparer, filed by mail — standard $449 · business from $649 | Non-residents with U.S. income (rental, ECI, refunds) | from $449 |
| Bookkeeping | Monthly categorization, reconciliation, tax-ready reports. Priced by transaction volume — the bands are published below. | Active sellers, multi-platform / multi-currency | from $99/mo |
| Catch-up bookkeeping — dormant | A year with no revenue still needs books before a return can be prepared from records rather than estimates. Flat: $199 for up to 6 months of history, $299 for up to 12. Dormant means no revenue, under 10 transactions a month, one account, no inventory or payroll. | Dormant or pre-revenue LLCs filing a past year | $199 / $299 flat |
| Catch-up bookkeeping — trading | Prior periods brought current for a company that was actually selling. Charged per month of history at 20% below the ongoing monthly rate for your transaction band — catch-up months carry no monthly reporting cycle, so they cost less to deliver. $79 / $159 / $279 / $395 per month by band. | Sellers filing a past year with incomplete books | from $79 / month of history |
| Sales tax registration | Registration with a state where you have nexus — inventory held in a 3PL warehouse, or an economic threshold crossed. Any state application fee is passed through at cost. | Sellers holding stock in a U.S. state, or crossing a state threshold | $199 / state |
| Sales tax return | Periodic sales tax return prepared and filed with the state. The state sets the frequency from your liability — often quarterly or annual at low volume. | Sellers registered in one or more states | $59 / state / filing |
| One question, answered in writing | For the judgment calls a checklist cannot settle: whether your 3PL contract changes your U.S. position, whether stock in a state creates a duty, how to structure something before you form it. One question, researched and answered in a short memo — no call, so you can read it twice, translate it, or show it to an adviser at home. <b>Working out which returns you owe and what they cost stays free, and always will</b> — this is for the question after that one. Credited in full against any filing you book within 30 days. | Owners facing a judgment call, not a filing question | Free during launch, then $99 |
| FBAR (FinCEN 114) | Report of accounts held outside the United States, filed with FinCEN through BSA E-Filing. A U.S. LLC is itself a "U.S. person" for this report, even when it is foreign-owned and owes no U.S. tax. | U.S. LLCs with accounts outside the U.S. above $10,000, and U.S. persons | $99 |
| Dissolution + final filing | Close the entity properly: state dissolution plus the final-year federal filing, so the year does not stay open. | Owners closing an LLC they no longer need | $349 |

Bookkeeping — how the volume is counted
A “transaction” is a bank or payment line — one payout, one expense — not one order. A store with 500 Shopify orders a month may settle as roughly 20 payouts plus its expenses, which lands in the entry tier.
| Tier | Transactions / month | Typical seller | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light | Up to 50 / month | Dormant or early stage, single account | $99 |
| Growing | 51–150 / month | One platform, steady orders | $199 |
| Active | 151–400 / month | Multi-platform or multi-currency | $349 |
| High volume | 401–800 / month | Multi-platform, inventory and COGS | $499 |
| Above 800 | More than 800 / month | Assessed individually | Quoted |
