Our Tax Compliance Services
US tax returns can be tricky when they involve international components. That’s why many other tax firms outsource their international tax support to us. At The Wolf Group, we only work with clients who have an international aspect to their tax situation. This allows us to focus on the continuously changing IRS tax rules that apply to our clients.
Every day, you’ll find us preparing US tax returns and required international informational reports for US individuals, US domestic corporations, and US partnerships that have ownership in foreign entities. We also prepare US returns for foreign businesses and individuals with business interests in the US.
Common forms and schedules include:
- US Income Tax Return of a Foreign Corporation (Form 1120-F)
- Information Return of US Persons with Respect to Certain Foreign Corporations (Form 5471)
- Filing Requirement for US Transferors of Property to a Foreign Corporation (Form 926)
- Return of US Persons with Respect to Certain Foreign Partnerships (Form 8865)
- Information Return of US Persons with Respect to Foreign Disregarded Entities (Form 8858)
