Frequently Asked Questions

Direct, factual answers regarding Delaware accounting, corporate formation, and tax compliance.

What is the difference between a CPA and an IRS Enrolled Agent (EA)?
A Certified Public Accountant (CPA) is licensed by state accountancy boards to audit financial statements, provide attest reports, and perform accounting and tax advisory services. An IRS Enrolled Agent (EA) is a federally authorized tax practitioner empowered directly by the US Department of the Treasury to represent taxpayers across all 50 states. Gary Mehta holds both elite credentials, giving clients full-spectrum auditing authority paired with unlimited federal tax defense rights.
Can I form a Delaware LLC if I live outside of Delaware or outside the United States?
Yes. You do not need to be a Delaware resident, US citizen, or Green Card holder to form a Delaware LLC or Corporation. Delaware corporate statutes permit 100% foreign ownership. Furthermore, if your company does not physically conduct business in Delaware, it is exempt from Delaware state corporate income tax. Our firm arranges registered agent services and obtains federal EINs for both domestic and foreign founders.
What are the penalties for failing to file international Form 5472 or FinCEN 114 (FBAR)?
The IRS imposes severe penalties for international non-compliance. Under IRC § 6038A, failure to timely file Form 5472 for a 25% foreign-owned US entity triggers an automatic $25,000 penalty per violation per year. Failure to file FinCEN 114 (FBAR) for foreign accounts exceeding $10,000 carries non-willful civil penalties starting at over $10,000 per violation. Gary Mehta, CPA, EA specializes in delinquent filing catch-ups and IRS Streamlined Offshore Procedures to minimize or eliminate these fines.
How does the firm handle client documents and meetings virtually?
We leverage bank-grade 256-bit encrypted digital portals for secure document transfer. Clients can securely upload W-2s, 1099s, bank ledgers, and prior tax returns from any computer or smartphone. Consultations are conducted via telephone, Zoom video conference, or text/WhatsApp. For clients preferring in-person meetings, appointments can be scheduled at our primary office in Wilmington, Delaware.
