Form 5471 and Form 5472: Foreign Corporation Reporting, CAMT Schedule H-1, and Farhy Penalty Aftermath -- Practitioner Guide

Form 5471 and Form 5472 are the two primary information returns that track U.S. person and foreign entity relationships with foreign corporations and foreign-owned domestic entities. Together, they give the IRS visibility into the structures most commonly used by multinational businesses, foreign investors, and U.S. shareholders of overseas operations. For practitioners advising clients in these spaces, both forms carry substantial penalty exposure, a complex category framework, and a rapidly evolving enforcement environment following the Farhy v. Commissioner decision.

This guide is written for enrolled agents, CPAs, and tax attorneys advising U.S. shareholders of foreign corporations, foreign-owned U.S. entities, multinational businesses, and clients who have received IRS penalty notices for prior-year foreign reporting failures. All statutory citations and guidance references must be verified against the current IRC text and IRS.gov before reliance in any specific client matter. This guide is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal or tax advice.

Section 1: When Form 5471 and Form 5472 Apply

Form 5471: IRC 6038

Form 5471 (Information Return of U.S. Persons With Respect to Certain Foreign Corporations) is required under IRC 6038. It applies to U.S. persons -- including citizens, residents, domestic corporations, domestic partnerships, estates, and trusts -- who meet specified ownership, officer, or directorship thresholds with respect to a foreign corporation. The statute governing who must file, which schedules apply, and what information must be reported is IRC 6038(a) through (e). Practitioners must consult IRC 6038(a)-(e) and current IRS.gov instructions to determine whether a specific client has a Form 5471 filing obligation, because the applicable rules turn on facts that must be evaluated for each annual accounting period.

Form 5471 is filed annually as an attachment to the U.S. person's federal income tax return. A U.S. person who is required to file but fails to do so -- or who files but omits required information -- is subject to the penalty regime under IRC 6038(b), described in Section 4 of this guide.

Form 5472: IRC 6038A

Form 5472 (Information Return of a 25% Foreign-Owned U.S. Corporation or a Foreign Corporation Engaged in a U.S. Trade or Business) is required under IRC 6038A. It applies to:

• A domestic corporation that is 25% or more foreign-owned (directly or indirectly), and
• A foreign corporation that is engaged in a trade or business within the United States.

Form 5472 reports "reportable transactions" between the reporting corporation and related foreign parties, including sales, purchases, rents, royalties, interest, and other intercompany flows. The information collected by Form 5472 is used by the IRS in transfer pricing examinations and related-party transaction audits. Confirm the definition of reportable transaction and the specific line-item disclosure requirements against IRC 6038A and current IRS.gov instructions.

The One Big Beautiful Budget Act (OBBBA) extended the Form 5472 filing requirement to 25% foreign-owned domestic partnerships in addition to corporations. As of the date of this guide, the effective date and procedural details for this partnership extension are subject to forthcoming Treasury and IRS guidance. Practitioners advising 25% foreign-owned domestic partnerships should monitor IRS.gov for implementing guidance before assuming filing obligations are triggered or before advising clients that no obligation currently exists.

Section 2: Form 5471 Filing Categories

The five filing categories for Form 5471 are established under IRC 6038(a)-(e). The category that applies to a filer determines both whether a Form 5471 must be filed and which schedules within the form are required. A U.S. person may fall into more than one category with respect to a single foreign corporation in a given year; when multiple categories apply, the filer must satisfy all applicable schedule requirements. Confirm the complete category framework, including specific ownership thresholds and acquisition rules, against IRC 6038(a)-(e) and current IRS.gov instructions, because the precise statutory requirements govern -- not general summaries.

Attribution: The Most Commonly Missed Category 5 Filers

The attribution rules for CFC status can result in a U.S. person being treated as a U.S. shareholder of a CFC even when that person holds no direct ownership interest in the foreign corporation. Ownership through a domestic partnership, S corporation, trust, or estate may cause constructive ownership of the CFC interest to pass to the underlying owners or beneficiaries. A domestic corporation that is owned by U.S. persons may also attribute its CFC ownership upward to those shareholders.

In practice, this means that a U.S. individual who owns an interest in a domestic holding company that, in turn, owns a CFC may be a Category 5 filer with respect to that CFC -- even if the individual has no direct relationship with the foreign corporation and receives no direct distributions from it. Before concluding that no Form 5471 obligation exists, practitioners should trace the full ownership chain of any client with a foreign corporate investment to identify potential attribution-based filing obligations. Hedge all attribution analysis to the applicable IRC provisions and current IRS.gov guidance.

Section 3: Form 5471 Schedule H-1 -- New for 2025 Tax Years

The December 2025 revision of Form 5471 added Schedule H-1. This new schedule requires U.S. shareholders to report the foreign subsidiary's adjusted financial statement income (AFSI) information relevant to the corporate alternative minimum tax (CAMT) computation under IRC 55. Schedule H-1 is a direct result of the CAMT regime's requirement to consolidate AFSI from relevant foreign entities into the U.S. corporate CAMT base.

Why Schedule H-1 Exists

The CAMT under IRC 55 imposes a 15% minimum tax on the adjusted financial statement income of corporations with average AFSI exceeding the applicable threshold (confirm CAMT applicability threshold against IRC 55 and IRS.gov). Unlike traditional taxable income, AFSI is derived from the corporation's applicable financial statements and then adjusted under the CAMT rules. For multinational corporate groups, the AFSI of foreign subsidiaries must be included in the consolidated CAMT base. Without a specific form line item to capture foreign subsidiary AFSI, the IRS would lack a standardized reporting mechanism to verify CAMT compliance for taxpayers with international footprints.

Schedule H-1 fills that gap by collecting the AFSI data for each foreign corporation reported on a Form 5471. This creates an explicit link between the international information reporting system (Form 5471) and the CAMT compliance framework, requiring the two historically separate compliance streams to be coordinated for the same tax year.

Who Is Affected

Schedule H-1 primarily creates a new compliance burden for multinational corporate taxpayers who are (a) required to file Form 5471 and (b) also subject to CAMT. The population most affected is large U.S. domestic corporations that own foreign subsidiaries and that have average AFSI meeting or approaching the CAMT threshold under IRC 55. Confirm whether a specific corporate filer is a CAMT taxpayer, and whether Schedule H-1 is required for that filer's Form 5471, against IRC 55, IRS Notice 2026-7, and current IRS.gov form instructions. Not every Form 5471 filer will be required to complete Schedule H-1; confirm the applicable triggering conditions at IRS.gov.

For practitioners whose clients have been relying on the prior Schedule H for financial accounting data, the December 2025 form revision adds Schedule H-1 as a separate schedule that must also be completed for applicable tax years beginning in 2025 or later. The two schedules serve different purposes; confirm the current filing requirements for both against the December 2025 Form 5471 revision and current IRS.gov instructions.

AFSI Mechanics: Hedge to Notice 2026-7 and IRS.gov

The specific mechanics for computing AFSI for purposes of Schedule H-1, including which income and expense items are included and excluded, how adjustments are applied, and how the foreign subsidiary's AFSI flows into the U.S. parent's CAMT computation, are governed by IRC 55 and IRS Notice 2026-7. This guide does not set out the AFSI computation line items as authoritative; all computation decisions must be made against the current guidance in Notice 2026-7 and at IRS.gov. Additional regulatory guidance may be issued. For a detailed analysis of the CAMT regime and AFSI computation mechanics, see the related CAMT guide linked in the Related Guides section below.

Section 4: Penalties -- IRC 6038, IRC 6038A, and the Farhy Aftermath

Form 5471 Penalties Under IRC 6038(b)

IRC 6038(b) imposes penalties for failure to file Form 5471 or to include required information. The penalty framework under IRC 6038(b) includes:

• Base penalty: A penalty per annual accounting period for each failure to file or to include required information. Confirm the base penalty amount against IRC 6038(b) and current IRS.gov guidance; this guide does not state a specific dollar figure as an authoritative reference because penalty amounts are subject to legislative change and inflation adjustment.
• Continuation penalty: An additional penalty per each 30-day period (or fraction thereof) after the 90-day period following IRS notice that the failure continues, up to a statutory maximum. Confirm the continuation penalty amount and the applicable maximum against IRC 6038(b) and current IRS.gov guidance.
• Criminal penalties: Intentional disregard of the Form 5471 filing requirement may expose a taxpayer to criminal penalties under the applicable provisions. Hedge all criminal penalty analysis to IRC 6038(b) and current IRS.gov guidance; criminal exposure is highly fact-specific and requires analysis by qualified legal counsel.

The IRC 6038(b) penalty applies per annual accounting period. A taxpayer with multiple foreign corporations for which Forms 5471 were not filed faces the penalty separately for each annual accounting period for each foreign corporation. The cumulative exposure for multiple missed filings across multiple years and multiple foreign corporations can be substantial.

Form 5472 Penalties Under IRC 6038A(d)

IRC 6038A(d) imposes penalties for failure to file Form 5472 or failure to maintain required records. The penalty framework under IRC 6038A(d) includes:

• Base penalty: A penalty per failure per annual accounting period. Confirm the base penalty amount against IRC 6038A(d) and current IRS.gov guidance; no specific dollar amount is stated as authoritative in this guide.
• Continuation penalty: An additional penalty per 30-day period after the 90-day period following IRS notice that the failure continues. Confirm continuation amounts against IRC 6038A(d) and IRS.gov.

The Form 5472 penalties under IRC 6038A(d) are assessed per annual accounting period per reportable corporation or partnership. A foreign-owned domestic entity that missed Form 5472 filings for multiple years faces compounding exposure. Practitioners advising clients who discover prior-year Form 5472 omissions should assess the full penalty exposure and evaluate penalty abatement options before approaching the IRS.

Farhy v. Commissioner (DC Circuit, 2025)

Farhy v. Commissioner, decided by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit in 2025, addressed whether the IRS has statutory authority to assess foreign information reporting penalties under IRC 6038 and IRC 6038A through an automated administrative process -- that is, without a separate deficiency proceeding. The published decision resolved the precise question presented in that case and before the DC Circuit.

Following the Farhy decision, the IRS resumed automated penalty assessments for foreign information reporting failures. Practitioners should not advise clients that Farhy makes these penalties uncollectable or that abatement is automatic. The legal landscape following Farhy is unsettled: the holding binds only the DC Circuit, and other circuits may reach different conclusions. The IRS's enforcement posture may also evolve through regulatory action, published guidance, or further litigation.

Practitioners advising clients on outstanding or anticipated Form 5471 or Form 5472 penalty notices should consider all of the following:

• (a) Whether the applicable circuit authority (the circuit in which the taxpayer would litigate, typically the circuit covering the Tax Court venue or the district court) covers the Farhy holding or a different rule;
• (b) Whether a penalty abatement request, reasonable cause assertion, or amended return strategy is appropriate given the specific facts and the client's history of compliance;
• (c) The statute of limitations under IRC 6501 for assessment and collection, including the special rule under IRC 6501(c)(8) for unfiled or late-filed Forms 5471; and
• (d) The risk of continuation penalties accruing while an abatement strategy is being pursued, particularly given the IRS's resumed automated assessment posture.

Hedge all Farhy-related strategy to the client's specific facts, applicable circuit authority, and current IRS guidance at IRS.gov. Do not make representations to clients about abatement prospects based on Farhy alone without confirming the current IRS enforcement posture and the applicable circuit law.

Section 5: CAMT Interaction -- AFSI Reporting and Foreign Subsidiaries

The corporate alternative minimum tax (CAMT) under IRC 55 applies to corporations with average adjusted financial statement income (AFSI) exceeding the applicable threshold. Confirm whether a specific corporate taxpayer is a CAMT taxpayer against IRC 55 and current IRS.gov guidance; the CAMT applicability threshold is defined in IRC 55 and must be verified for each client. For U.S. corporations that are CAMT taxpayers and that own foreign subsidiaries, the AFSI of those foreign subsidiaries must be consolidated into the CAMT base.

The Form 5471 / CAMT Link

Form 5471 Schedule H-1, added in the December 2025 form revision, is the reporting mechanism through which the IRS collects the foreign subsidiary AFSI data that feeds the CAMT computation. A U.S. corporate filer that is also a CAMT taxpayer and that files Form 5471 for one or more foreign subsidiaries must complete Schedule H-1 for each applicable subsidiary, reporting that subsidiary's AFSI information as required by the December 2025 revision and current IRS.gov instructions.

This creates a coordination obligation that did not exist before the CAMT regime was enacted: Form 5471 filers who are also CAMT taxpayers can no longer treat their international information reporting and their domestic CAMT computation as separate compliance streams. The AFSI data gathered for Schedule H-1 must be consistent with the AFSI figures used on Form 4626 (the CAMT form), because the IRS can cross-reference the two forms.

AFSI Inclusion and Exclusion Mechanics

The specific rules governing which AFSI items of a foreign subsidiary are included in, or excluded from, the U.S. parent's consolidated CAMT base are governed by IRC 55 and IRS Notice 2026-7. This guide does not set out the AFSI inclusion and exclusion mechanics as a definitive list, because those rules are detailed, fact-specific, and subject to ongoing regulatory development. Practitioners completing Schedule H-1 for a CAMT taxpayer client must work through the AFSI computation rules under Notice 2026-7 and verify the line items against current IRS.gov form instructions.

The CAMT computation mechanics, including the treatment of foreign subsidiary AFSI, timing differences between financial statement income and taxable income, and the interaction with financial statement consolidation rules, are covered in detail in the related CAMT guide linked in the Related Guides section below. Practitioners advising corporate clients on CAMT should read the CAMT guide alongside this guide to understand both the Schedule H-1 data sourcing and the CAMT computation that Schedule H-1 feeds into.

Planning Consideration: Coordination Between International and CAMT Teams

In larger firms and corporate tax departments, Form 5471 compliance and CAMT compliance have historically been handled by different teams -- international tax for Form 5471, domestic tax or financial reporting for CAMT. The addition of Schedule H-1 creates a hard data dependency between those two streams: the international team must provide accurate AFSI data for each foreign subsidiary in time for the CAMT team to complete Form 4626 and for the Schedule H-1 figures to be confirmed as consistent across both forms.

Practitioners advising CAMT-affected multinational corporate clients should confirm that their client's compliance workflow accounts for this coordination requirement before the return is filed.

Section 6: Common Compliance Traps

The following compliance failures appear repeatedly in IRS examination and penalty notice contexts for Form 5471 and Form 5472. Practitioners advising clients with foreign corporate interests or foreign-owned domestic entities should verify each of these points before filing and before concluding that no prior-year exposure exists.

1. Attribution-Based Category 5 Filers

As discussed in Section 2, the most frequently missed Form 5471 obligation involves U.S. shareholders who hold a CFC interest through attribution from a related domestic entity or trust. The client may report no direct foreign corporation ownership on their questionnaire and may sincerely believe no Form 5471 is required -- while constructive ownership rules operate to make them a Category 5 filer. Practitioners must apply the full attribution analysis to every client with a foreign corporate investment in the ownership chain, regardless of how remote the client's indirect interest appears. Confirm the attribution rules against the applicable IRC provisions and current IRS.gov guidance.

2. Late-Filed Returns and the Extended SOL Under IRC 6501(c)(8)

Under IRC 6501(c)(8), a Form 5471 filed late (or never filed) is treated as if it were never filed for purposes of the statute of limitations on assessment. The general three-year statute of limitations on assessment does not begin to run for the tax year in question until the Form 5471 is actually filed. A taxpayer who filed an income tax return years ago but omitted a required Form 5471 may have a year that is technically "open" to IRS assessment long after the three-year period would otherwise have closed. Practitioners advising clients on prior-year exposure must apply IRC 6501(c)(8) and not assume that the general three-year period has run. Hedge all SOL analysis to the current IRC 6501 text and IRS.gov guidance.

3. Schedule H-1 Transition: Prior Schedule H Is Not a Substitute

Practitioners who have been completing Schedule H on Form 5471 for prior years to report financial accounting data must be aware that the December 2025 revision adds Schedule H-1 as a separate and distinct schedule for CAMT AFSI reporting. The prior Schedule H and the new Schedule H-1 serve different purposes and are not substitutes for each other. For tax years beginning in 2025 or later, applicable CAMT taxpayers must complete Schedule H-1 in addition to any other required schedules. Confirm which schedules are required for each applicable filing category and each applicable filer against the December 2025 (or later) Form 5471 revision and current IRS.gov instructions.

4. Form 5472 for Foreign-Owned Domestic Partnerships (OBBBA Extension)

OBBBA added 25% foreign-owned domestic partnerships to the class of entities required to file Form 5472. This is a significant expansion of the Form 5472 filing population that was not required under prior law. However, as of the date of this guide, the effective date and procedural requirements for this extension are subject to forthcoming Treasury and IRS guidance. Practitioners advising foreign-owned domestic partnerships should not assume that no Form 5472 obligation exists, but should also not assume the obligation is currently operative without confirming the effective date and any transitional rules in forthcoming guidance. Monitor IRS.gov for implementing regulations and IRS notices before advising clients on this point.

5. Missing or Incomplete Schedules as a Constructive Non-Filing

For Form 5471, a return filed without all required schedules for the applicable category may be treated as a failure to file for penalty purposes, not merely as an incomplete return. A Category 5 filer who submits only the base Form 5471 without the required Subpart F and CFC schedules does not satisfy the filing obligation with respect to those missing schedules. Before concluding that a Form 5471 for a prior year was timely and properly filed, practitioners should confirm that all required schedules for the applicable filing categories were included and completed correctly. This analysis also affects the IRC 6501(c)(8) SOL: a partially-completed Form 5471 may not start the SOL clock if it is treated as a failure to file. Hedge all determinations about filing completeness and SOL consequences to current IRS.gov guidance and applicable case authority.
