Why subscribe
Five reasons foreign-LLC owners renew month after month. None of them involve us filing your return for you — that's your call, always.
- 1
Tax law moves. Don't get stuck in 2024 advice.
Foreign-owned LLC rules change every year. OBBBA introduced the 1% remittance tax. IRS revised §6038A reasonable-cause guidance. Treaty interpretations shift. We track every ruling and publish the analysis the same week — so what you learned six months ago doesn't quietly become wrong on next year's return.
- 2
Avoid the $25,000 trap (it's per failure, per year).
Form 5472 carries a $25,000 penalty for each late or incorrect filing. ECI misclassification compounds into six figures. Most people get hit because they trusted a CPA who isn't current on the foreign-owned LLC niche, or guidance that was correct three years ago. A monthly check-in is cheaper than one penalty letter — and it's how you spot a problem before the IRS does.
- 3
Walk into your CPA meeting prepared. Pay for advice, not education.
Your enrolled agent, CPA, or tax attorney bills $300–$800 an hour. Don't pay them to explain Form 5472 basics. Subscribers walk in with the right vocabulary, the right rule citations, and the specific question that actually moves the needle on their return — and leave with a plan that fits their business, not a generic template.
- 4
A living library, not a frozen course.
One-shot courses freeze the day they're recorded. This is the opposite — a continuously updated library of walkthrough videos, country-specific treaty deep dives, OBBBA explainers, reportable-transaction analysis, and a Q&A community where members ask their actual edge cases. Watch what's relevant to you, this year, in the moment you need it.
- 5
Invest in the long-term you.
Most foreign LLC owners file every year for ten-plus years. Doing it once with a CPA is $1,500–$3,000 a year. Doing it with this library + our $49 wizard is roughly $170 a year — and you understand what you signed. That's $15,000+ saved over a decade, plus a compounding competence that pays off the moment your business gets complicated.

What's included
Every feature is a knowledge service — content, calculators, priority access. None file or submit anything to the IRS on your behalf.
Every walkthrough video
The full library of IRS form walkthroughs, country-by-country treaty deep dives, and reportable-transaction explainers — including the videos that are paywalled on the public site.
Personalized IRS deadline calendar
Every deadline that applies to your specific entity — Form 5472 / pro forma 1120, state annual report, franchise tax, Form 7004 extension. Email reminders 60, 30, and 7 days before each.
Member Q&A community
Ask your actual edge-case question and get an answer in the same thread the rest of the membership can read. Search 1,300+ existing threads on partnerships, ECI, ITIN, treaties, OBBBA, state nexus.
AI assistant — higher daily quota
10 AI questions per day (vs. 3/day for free users) and 8 drafter runs per day. AI is provided as-is; quotas may change. The videos and Q&A are the primary product.
Year-over-year filing carryover
When you file with our wizard, your entity name, EIN, address, NAICS code, ownership block, and transaction structure are saved in your browser. Next year, the wizard pre-fills everything — you just update the numbers.
OBBBA + IRS rule-change alerts
Email notifications the day any IRS rule, form revision, or OBBBA-related Treasury guidance affecting foreign-owned LLCs is published. No noise — only changes that affect your filing.
Full premium guide library
Every long-form guide, country tax-treaty deep dive, video transcript, and reportable-transaction walk-through. Including the OBBBA 2026 1% remittance tax explainer and the §6038A reasonable-cause analysis.
All 10 languages
Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi, Chinese, Arabic, French, German, Japanese, Korean, and English coverage. Native-language framing — not just machine translation.
What's explicitly NOT included
We are software and content — not a tax preparer. By design, the membership does not include:
- Filing forms on your behalf
- Signing your tax return
- Faxing or mailing your forms to the IRS
- Representing you before the IRS
- Insurance or coverage for any IRS penalty
- Per-filing fees (each $49 / $99 / $199 filing wizard is still paid separately)
For complex situations (transfer pricing, multi-tier ownership, active audits, willfulness analysis), see our penalty abatement overview and streamlined-filing overview for licensed pros.

Frequently asked
- I've already watched the free videos. What do I actually get for $9.99?
- The free videos teach the rules as they stand today. Membership is what keeps you ahead of tomorrow's change — same-week rule alerts, the full Q&A community where you can ask your specific situation, every walkthrough video (including the paywalled ones), and the higher AI quota. It's the difference between a textbook and a subscription to The Wall Street Journal.
- Should I pay monthly or yearly?
- Yearly is the better deal if you'll be running your foreign-owned LLC for more than 10 months. You pay $99 once instead of $9.99 × 12 = $119.88 — about 2 months free. Monthly is the right call if you want to try the library first; you can always upgrade to yearly later. Both plans cancel any time.
- What's the Yearly + Filing bundle and when does the credit renew?
- The bundle gives you the yearly membership plus one filing wizard credit per cycle. At $139/year, you save $9 vs paying for yearly ($99) and a single filing ($49) separately — and every time your subscription renews (each year), a fresh filing credit is added to your account. Use it for the Form 5472 wizard, ECI, ITIN, or partnership — whichever filing you need this year. Best for owners who file every year.
- Can I switch plans later?
- Yes — from /membership/manage you can change plans via Stripe's customer portal. Switching from monthly to yearly is the most common move (instant prorated upgrade). Switching down (yearly to monthly) takes effect at your next renewal.
- Does the membership include filing fees?
- No. Each filing wizard ($49 for Form 5472, $199 for Form 1065, $99 for ECI, $99 for ITIN) is paid separately. The membership pays for the knowledge service, deadline calendar, AI priority, and carryover features — not the per-filing fee.
- Will you file my forms for me?
- No, and the membership doesn't change that. ForeignLLCTax.com is self-service software. You sign and submit every form yourself (fax, certified mail, or IRS-approved PDS). Read the Terms of Service for details.
- If I cancel, do I lose access immediately?
- No — cancellation stops the next renewal. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period.
- What if the IRS rejects my filing — does the membership cover the penalty?
- No. We do not insure, indemnify, or cover IRS penalties. The membership is a knowledge service. Penalty exposure is your responsibility — that's true with or without the membership, and true with or without ForeignLLCTax. For complex penalty situations, see our penalty abatement page for licensed-pro referrals.
- How do I manage or cancel my membership?
- Visit /membership/manage for the Stripe customer portal, or email info@foreignllctax.com.

The rules will move. Your filings can keep up — or quietly fall out of compliance. Subscribers see the change the same week it's published.
Prefer monthly? . Or, if you just need to file once today, the $49 Form 5472 wizard is a one-time purchase, no subscription required. Preparing for the 2026 tax year? The $99 Early-Bird Bundle pairs your 2026 filing with 12 months of this library — one-time, nothing renews.
