How it Works / Simple
Our 5471 Print Merge software uses Microsoft Excel Visual Basic ("macros") to create a data file that is merged with the Adobe Acrobat form files. To identify the data to be merged with IRS form 5471, you merely enter a "field code" in your international tax spreadsheet next to the cell you want to merge with the form. The data can be a value you entered or imported into the spreadsheet, text, or the results of a calculation. Your foreign subsidiary data does not need to be in a specific sequence or format, and can be located any place in the spreadsheet. Your international tax spreadsheet can be designed any way you want and can contain any type of calculations, formatting, etc. The only thing you need to do is enter the appropriate field code next to the item you wish to merge with IRS form 5471. The IRS form 5471 field codes are in a standard and easy to use format, so they can be entered quickly and easily in your international tax spreadsheets.
