Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a form you need to know about
When foreign owners come to play
In US corporations or LLCs today
It's not a tax, just information
Filing facts across the nation
Form five four seven two shows the way

[Chorus]
Five four seven two, information's due
Twenty-five percent foreign owned, it's true
No tax assessed, just facts expressed
Related party transactions, nothing less
Five four seven two, here's what you do
Report the deals between me and you

[Verse 2]
Since twenty seventeen the rules have changed
Single member LLCs in the game
If foreign owned and disregarded
This form must still be filed and charted
Even though no tax is due today
Information return leads the way

[Chorus]
Five four seven two, information's due
Twenty-five percent foreign owned, it's true
No tax assessed, just facts expressed
Related party transactions, nothing less
Five four seven two, here's what you do
Report the deals between me and you

[Bridge]
Delaware LLC with foreign control
Non-resident manager plays their role
US trade or business in the mix
Form five four seven two does the trick
Not about the money that you owe
Just the transactions you need to show

[Chorus]
Five four seven two, information's due
Twenty-five percent foreign owned, it's true
No tax assessed, just facts expressed
Related party transactions, nothing less
Five four seven two, here's what you do
Report the deals between me and you

[Outro]
Information return, that's the key
Foreign owned means filing for you and me
Five four seven two, remember true
Compliance starts with what you do
