Three steps to start earning

No approval process and nothing to set up beyond your account.

  1. Step 01

    Join free

    Create your affiliate account in a few minutes. No fees, and no minimum referral commitment.

  2. Step 02

    Share your link

    You get a unique referral link. When someone clicks it, a 60-day tracking cookie is set — where cookie consent is required, only if they allow it.

  3. Step 03

    Get paid monthly

    Your dashboard shows clicks, signups and paid filings. Commissions are calculated monthly and paid NET-30 by wire transfer.

The terms, in plain words

What you earn, how tracking works, and when the money arrives.

25% lifetime recurring

You earn 25% of every payment a customer you referred makes, for as long as they remain a customer.

60-day attribution

If a visitor you refer buys within 60 days of clicking your link, the referral is credited to you.

NET-30 payouts

Commissions are calculated monthly and paid by wire transfer on a NET-30 basis. March earnings arrive by April 30.

Free to join

No fees, no minimum referral commitment, and nothing to buy. If you stop sharing, you simply stop earning new referrals.

What you’d be recommending

Worth knowing before you put your name behind it.

A document preparation tool, not a CPA

5472Direct’s software fills in Form 5472 and pro forma 1120 PDFs from the customer’s answers, for $199 flat, with an optional $49 IRS fax delivery. Complex cases are told to use a CPA before they pay. Please describe it that way: preparation software, not tax advice.

  • Tax content creators and YouTubers
  • LLC formation service providers
  • Accountants and bookkeepers serving foreign-owned LLCs
  • Expat and digital nomad communities

Affiliate questions

The details partners ask about before joining.

What does 5472Direct do?

5472Direct is an online document preparation tool. Its software fills in Form 5472 and pro forma 1120 PDFs for foreign-owned single-member LLCs, from the information the customer provides. It is not a CPA or tax advisory service.

How does referral tracking work?

Your unique link sets a 60-day tracking cookie when someone clicks it. If they complete a paid filing within that window, the referral is credited to you in your dashboard. Where cookie consent is required, tracking only runs when the visitor allows it.

When do I get paid?

Commissions are calculated monthly and paid on a NET-30 basis via wire transfer. For example, commissions earned in March are paid by April 30.

Is there a cost to join?

No. Joining is free, and there is no minimum referral commitment.

Where can I share my link?

YouTube, X, newsletters, blogs, and communities are all fine. Disclose the affiliate relationship wherever the rules require it, for example under FTC guidelines.

What if a referral’s case is too complex?

The free eligibility check tells them before they pay and points them to a CPA partner. You don’t need to screen anyone yourself.
