Owning or operating a business with international ties means navigating a wide range of U.S. tax obligations — some obvious, some hidden.
At CGC International Tax, we support U.S. and foreign-owned businesses with tax compliance, inbound reporting, and structural coordination to ensure everything lines up properly under U.S. rules.
We prepare all necessary federal and state tax returns for corporations, partnerships, and LLCs, including Forms 1120, 1120-S, 1065, and more. We also assist with inbound reporting for foreign owners (such as Forms 5472, 8804, 8805, and 1042/1042-S to name a few), and help businesses remain compliant when working with foreign vendors, employees, or independent contractors. We often identify classification or filing issues early — before they create downstream reporting problems.
Our role also includes advising on how business ownership and operations should be reflected in U.S. filings. For example, we help determine whether a foreign affiliate must be disclosed, how payments should be reported, or whether a foreign company qualifies as a disregarded entity or a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) for U.S. tax purposes.
What Sets CGC Apart
While our focus is compliance, we frequently coordinate with our affiliate, Schwartz International, on initial structuring, restructuring, or planning projects that require deeper strategic input. Together, we ensure the reporting aligns with the broader business goals — while still being technically sound and IRS-ready.
Whether you’re a foreign owner entering the U.S. market or a U.S. company expanding abroad, CGC can help ensure your tax filings are accurate, coordinated, and built to reflect the real structure of your business. If your structure needs adjustment, we’ll make sure you have the right team in place — and no disruption in compliance.
