How do I file Form 7004 to extend my foreign-owned LLC's Form 1120 deadline?
My foreign-owned single-member LLC files a pro forma Form 1120 with Form 5472 attached. The deadline is April 15 but I'm not going to be ready in time because my bookkeeper is behind. Can I file Form 7004 to get an extension? Does the extension also cover the Form 5472? I need to know the exact steps since this is my first time filing for an extension on a business return.
