Form 5472 Late Filing Penalty Relief

Overview:I am a non-US resident (holding a valid ITIN) and the sole owner of a Wyoming single-member LLC established in 2023. The LLC was officially dissolved with the State of Wyoming in March 2025. I am looking for an experienced Enrolled Agent (EA) or CPA specializing in international taxation and IRS representation to help check our tax account status, late-file required informational returns, and draft a robust Penalty Abatement request.
Background & Context:
Entity Type: Foreign-Owned Single-Member LLC (Disregarded Entity).
Business Activity: Absolute ZERO business activity. $0 gross income, no US-source income, and no assets.
Current Status: Dissolved in March 2025. I have verified with my former Registered Agent that NO mail or notices from the IRS have been received.
The Issue: I hired a third-party provider in February 2025 to dissolve the LLC and file the Pro-forma Form 1120 and Form 5472 for TY2024 and TY2025. They assured me it was done, but I recently discovered they failed to actually file/fax the tax forms.
Scope of Work:
Call the IRS PPS line to check our EIN status and confirm if any automated penalties have been assessed.
Prepare Pro-forma Form 1120 and Form 5472 for TY2024 and TY2025 (Final Return).
Draft a Reasonable Cause Statement emphasizing reliance on a professional and zero business activity.
Fax or mail the completed package to the IRS.
Post-Filing Support & Representation: Monitor the account status after submission. If the IRS issues any penalty notices (e.g., Notice CP215) despite the Reasonable Cause Statement, you will be responsible for handling all subsequent responses, communications, and escalations (including submitting Form 12203 to the IRS Independent Office of Appeals) until the penalty is fully abated. This must be included in your flat fee.
Requirements:
Must be an active, licensed EA or CPA.
Proven track record of successfully abating Form 5472 late-filing penalties for non-US owners.
Please outline your flat fee and explicitly confirm that your fee covers both the initial late filing with the statement AND all subsequent IRS representation/appeals required to resolve this penalty.
