Format For Foreign Owned SMLLC SS-4

The Pre-Filled Template: SS-4 for Foreign-Owned SMLLC has been designed with the simplicity and accuracy required by the IRS when filing an EIN for a foreign single-member LLC in mind. It is a fully fillable PDF that guides the user step-by-step, showing only the essential fields and omitting non-applicable sections, so you will avoid distractions and possible errors when completing unnecessary lines. Thanks to its careful layout, each box is accompanied by a brief internal instruction (e.g., “Enter full name without abbreviations”), making it easy to fill in quickly even if you are not familiar with Form SS-4.

In addition, this template incorporates basic validations-such as verification of MM/DD/YYYYY date formats and the correct length of alphanumeric fields-to reduce the risk of automatic rejection by the IRS system. Its modular structure allows you to repeat or delete sections depending on the number of managers or preparers involved, and its compatibility with Adobe Reader, Chrome PDF and mobile devices ensures that you can work from any platform without losing the original configuration.

• Entity identification: “Legal name of entity” translated as NAME OF SINGLE MEMBER LLC, together with the main address and, if applicable, different mailing address, specified in interactive fields.

• Foreign manager data: dedicated fields for Name of the foreign manager and his type of identification, with the “Foreign” box already checked to indicate that the LLC is organized outside the USA.

• Selection of entity type and purpose: the “Corporation (Form 1120)” box prefilled with the value 1120 and the description “FOREIGN-OWNED US DISREGARDED-5472” to correctly reflect disregarded entity status for tax purposes and the need to file Form 5472.

• Date of creation and main activity: fields are enabled for month (e.g. DECEMBER) and year of incorporation of the LLC, as well as lines to describe the main activity or product.

The final “Third Party Designee” section includes placeholders for the name, phone, fax and address of the preparer or authorizer, allowing you to designate a contact to receive the EIN and answer questions to the IRS. All fields are optimized for Adobe Reader and mobile PDF viewers, with clear instructions in each box to avoid formatting errors: complete addresses, zip codes, dates in MM/DD/YYYYY, etc. The template supports electronic or handwritten signatures and can be progressively saved for collaborative work before sending by fax or certified mail to the corresponding service center.
