CATCH UP WITH THE IRS
Missed tax years and IRS letters
If your company or you missed US returns, filing every missing year now stops the problem growing. We prepare the late returns, write a reasonable-cause statement from your real facts, and help you answer IRS letters before their deadlines.
What we can and can't promise (H2, boxed)
We can't promise that the IRS will remove a penalty. It decides each case. What we can do is file the right way: every missing year together, each with a written statement of your real reasons signed by you, which is the route the IRS itself describes. We never invent or dress up facts.
Two situations (H2, two columns)
The IRS hasn't written to you yet. This is the best time to act. File all missing years together, each with a reasonable-cause statement. Some relief routes only work before the IRS contacts you.
You already have an IRS letter. Send us every page. We tell you what it means, what it asks for and the reply date, then quote the reply. For a Form 5472 penalty notice, extra penalties start once 90 days pass after the notice, so we move quickly.

What different returns risk
| Return | Penalty when late or missing | Relief worth asking for |
|---|---|---|
| Form 5472 (foreign-owned LLC) | $25,000 per year, plus $25,000 per 30 days once 90 days pass after an IRS notice | Reasonable cause, with a signed statement. First-time relief usually doesn't apply to this form. |
| Form 1065 (partnership) | $260 per partner per month, up to 12 months (returns due in 2027) | First-time abatement or reasonable cause |
| Form 1120-S (S-corporation) | $260 per shareholder per month, up to 12 months | First-time abatement or reasonable cause |
| Form 1040-NR with US business income | Tax plus penalties; after 16 months late, business deductions are lost | File quickly |
| Returns with tax owed | 5% of unpaid tax per month, up to 25%, plus interest | First-time abatement or reasonable cause |

How it works
- Tell us what's missing. Order in the portal and upload every IRS letter (every page) and the years you think are missing.
- We review and quote. You get a written plan and quote in the portal. Nothing to pay until you accept.
- Send your documents for each year: bank statements, EIN letter, past returns.
- Approve and sign. You approve each draft and sign each return and statement with a pen.
- We file and send proof. Ishfaq Ahmed reviews everything. Proof of every filing goes into your portal.
What we need from you
- Which years you think are missing
- Your LLC or company details and EIN letter
- Photos or scans of every page of every IRS letter, with the date received
- Bank statements for each missing year
- Any returns filed before, by anyone
Price
Price after review. It depends on how many years and which returns. We send a written quote in the portal after looking at your documents. Full payment before we file. Bank transfer; the payment details come with your invoice in the portal. Card payments are not available yet. The IRS charges nothing to file a return; our fee is for preparing and filing it.
Frequently asked questions
Will the IRS remove my $25,000 Form 5472 penalty?
We can't promise it. Filing every missing year with an honest reasonable-cause statement gives you the best chance, but the IRS decides.
Should I wait until the IRS writes to me?
No. Some relief routes only work before the IRS contacts you, and the time limit for each missing year doesn't start until it's filed.
Can I just file this year and skip the old ones?
We don't recommend it. Each missing year stays open, and the IRS looks at reasonable cause only once all late returns are filed.
I got a letter about a year we already filed. What now?
Send us the letter and your proof of filing (fax confirmation or acknowledgement). Many letters are answered with that proof.
My LLC is closed or dissolved. Do old returns still matter?
Yes, for the years it existed. We can file them and close the company properly.
How fast can you start?
As soon as you send the letter or the list of years. Same business day replies during our hours.
