TaxAct supports Form 5471, Information Return of U.S. Persons With Respect to Certain Foreign Corporations. Currently, we only support the creation and electronic filing of five copies of Form 5471. If the return requires more than five copies of the form, the only option is to manually complete the additional copies and attach them to the return. In this case, you must paper-file the return.
TaxAct does not import prior year information on Form 5471. The filing requirements for Form 5471 are based on year-to-year conditions; therefore, you may be required to file Form 5471 in one tax year, but not in the following tax year. Even if you are required to file Form 5471 in two different tax years, the required schedules and statements may differ for each tax year. Please see the Instructions for Form 5471 for more information on who must file in a given tax year.
