Compliance · Pillar 3 of 4

Never miss a U.S. filing again in any state you touch.

The most expensive filing is the one no one told you about. Prolify tracks every deadline tied to your entity, in every state, and coordinates the filings before they cost you.

What we solve

The problems this page solves

You don't know what you owe.

Many founders don't know what filings their entity is on the hook for, or that they have nexus in a second state. Step one is seeing the picture. That's the compliance audit.

You forgot the annual report.

Most states quietly move your entity to "not in good standing" if you miss it. After continued non-filing, the state administratively dissolves the entity. Recovery takes filings, back fees, and time.

You've never heard of Form 5472.

A foreign-owned single-member U.S. LLC treated as a disregarded entity typically owes an annual Form 5472 and pro-forma 1120. Missing a required Form 5472 can trigger a $25,000 IRS penalty; continued failure after IRS notice can add $25,000 every 30 days.

You don't know if BOI applies to you.

Under the March 2025 interim final rule, U.S.-formed entities are generally no longer required to file BOI. Foreign reporting companies registered to do business in a U.S. state generally still are. We confirm where your entity stands, and we don't sell BOI filings to entities that don't owe them.

You operate in multiple states without knowing it.

Customers in California, a contractor in New York, inventory in Texas: any of these can create obligations. We surface it during the audit.

Treating BOI as universalWe don't sell what isn't owed

Many providers still sell BOI to every U.S. entity. Under the March 2025 IFR, U.S.-formed entities generally no longer file.

When to talk to a licensed attorney or CPA

Compliance work spans administrative filings (we handle these) and licensed work (we don't). Talk to a licensed attorney or CPA, through our partner network or your own, when:

  • You receive an IRS notice requiring a written representation.
  • You're considering corporate restructuring.
  • You have a partnership tax position.
  • You have FIRPTA exposure.
  • You're under audit.
  • You want to take a treaty position.

We'll make the introduction.
