The Knowledge Congress Has Scheduled a Live Webcast on Form 5472 for Foreign Investors

New York, NY, August 28, 2010 --(PR.com)-- While the U.S. market proves to be fertile ground for foreign investors and companies, there are some complicated issues that must be addressed in order to avoid fines and penalties such as the completion of Form 5472. Companies that are at least 25% owned by non-US shareholders must disclose this information to the IRS via this form which can be a bit confusing.

In a live webcast prepared by The Knowledge Group on October 19, 2010 from 3:00-5:00 PM (ET), a panel of international tax experts will break down the complexities of Form 5472 focusing on these and other key topics:

- Who’s required to file this
- What needs to be disclosed
- Filers' duties and responsibilities
- Filing due date and where to file
- How to prepare the form & fix mistakes
- Penalties & exceptions

This program was specifically tailored to the needs and demands of accounting and corporate professionals who are responsible for filing.
