Ive never even seen a Form 5471, is it a common form?

Actually, relatively common.  It's available in PS for business modules, just not for individuals.  But then again, PS is not the best software for international returns.

from my experience Corptax is the best software for international forms. Gosystem next in line

I second that for GoSystem but it comes with the price tag.

yeah and gosystems tech support sucks. corptax has the best tech support. you submit a ticket online and then the ticket get assigned to the tech with the most qualification to answer your question and then tech calls you back and works with your to resolve the matter. paradise.

Hence choosing software based on the profile of your clients. :+1:

lacerte is a hairy old maid=) I guess I will be getting 5471 PDF fillable form from the IRS. Gross
