What do filers ask before they pay?
How fast is Form5472 Prep Express filing?▾
Form5472 Prep Express filing ($199) is ready for you to check and sign within 24 hours of your order, 7 days a week, and we fax it to the IRS once you sign. Standard filing ($149) is ready in 5-7 business days. Both tiers get the same package, accountant review and IRS fax delivery.
What's the difference between the two tiers?▾
Only the turnaround. The filing itself is identical: we prepare your Form 5472 + pro forma 1120, a PTIN-holding tax accountant reviews it, we fax it to the IRS Ogden PIN Unit, and email you the timestamped confirmation. Both tiers also include a reasonable-cause letter on late / DIIRSP filings and a filing reminder in the second week of January for next year. Standard filing ($149) is ready in 5-7 business days; express filing ($199) is ready to sign within 24 hours and comes with priority email support.
Is fax filing really included?▾
Yes — every plan includes fax delivery to the IRS Ogden PIN Unit and the fax provider's transmission receipt (destination, timestamp, page count, result): evidence of transmission, not IRS acceptance. You don't need your own fax machine.
What if I'm filing for multiple past years (DIIRSP)?▾
Add $99 per additional past year on either tier. We include a reasonable-cause statement on every late filing so the IRS Delinquent International Information Return Submission Procedure (DIIRSP) is invoked correctly.
Are there any hidden fees?▾
No. The price you see is the price you pay. No setup fee, no monthly subscription, no per-page fax surcharge.
Is Form5472 Prep automated software?▾
No. Form5472 Prep is a done-for-you filing service, not do-it-yourself software. Our software drafts the Form 5472 and pro forma Form 1120 from your answers; a tax accountant who holds an IRS PTIN reviews every package before you can sign. You check and sign it, and we fax it to the IRS Ogden PIN Unit with a timestamped receipt.
Is Form5472 Prep legit?▾
Form5472 Prep is a Form 5472 filing service founded in 2025. A tax accountant who holds an IRS PTIN reviews every package before you sign it. We are not a CPA firm, give no personalised tax or legal advice and do not file Form 7004. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and customer reviews are on Trustpilot.
Is Form5472 Prep the same as Snapfile?▾
They are separate services run by the same team. Snapfile sells a $79 filing (+$69 per additional past year) with an AI system review and no human tax professional, per snapfile.tax/pricing on 24 October 2026. At Form5472 Prep, from $149, a tax accountant who holds an IRS PTIN reviews every package; Snapfile's human-review tier is fulfilled by us.
