Form 5472 fax number, address and due date

Where a foreign-owned LLC sends Form 5472 with its pro forma 1120: the IRS fax number, the Ogden address, the April 15 due date and the Form 7004 extension.

Last updated: 2026-10-31

A foreign-owned single-member LLC files Form 5472 on paper, through a dedicated IRS unit, on a fixed date. Getting any of the three wrong can turn a form that owes no tax into a $25,000 problem.

Fax (fastest, with proof)

855-887-7737, at 300 DPI or higher.

Send the pro forma Form 1120 first, Form 5472 behind it, then the Part V statement. Keep the fax confirmation report showing the date and the number of pages; it is your proof of filing.

Online fax services work. Check the resolution setting before sending.

Mail

Internal Revenue Service
1973 Rulon White Blvd., M/S 6112
Attn: PIN Unit
Ogden, UT 84201

Use USPS Certified Mail, or a tracked service from a designated private delivery service, and keep the receipt. Under the timely-mailing rule, the postmark date counts as the filing date.

Do not send it to the regular Form 1120 address for your state, and do not e-file: a foreign-owned disregarded entity cannot file Form 5472 electronically.

Due date

The pro forma Form 1120 and Form 5472 are due on the 15th day of the 4th month after the tax year ends. For a calendar-year LLC:

Tax yearDue dateWith Form 7004
2025April 15, 2026October 15, 2026
2026April 15, 2027October 15, 2027

The tax year is the owner's U.S. tax year, or the calendar year if the owner has none, which is the usual case. If a due date falls on a weekend, it moves to the next business day.

Extension: Form 7004

  1. Fill in Form 7004 with the LLC's name, address and EIN, and enter the code for Form 1120 in Part I.
  2. Write "Foreign-owned U.S. DE" across the top.
  3. Fax or mail it to the same fax number or PIN Unit address above, by the original due date. Not to the usual Form 7004 address.

The extension gives you six more months to file. It does not need a reason.
