Can I e-file Form 5472 for tax year 2025 (returns filed in 2026)?
I much prefer e-filing to printing and faxing. Has the IRS opened up e-filing for Form 5472 with the pro forma Form 1120 for tax year 2025? Most tax software I have looked at says it cannot e-file this combination. Is that a software limitation, or is the IRS still requiring paper or fax?
