Non-resident founders with a US LLC
A US LLC is easy to form from anywhere. Keeping it compliant from anywhere is the part the formation sites leave out.

The obligations that follow formation
- Form 5472 with a pro forma 1120 every year by April 15 (October 15 on extension), even with no income. $25,000 penalty if missed; cannot be e-filed.
- A review of whether the LLC's activity creates US-connected income and a Form 1040-NR for the owner.
- The state annual report or franchise tax and the registered agent renewal.
- Sales tax where inventory or sales create nexus.
- W-9 for the LLC, W-8BEN for the owner, so platforms and clients withhold correctly.
- Home-country reporting of the foreign entity (Schedule FA in India, for example).
What we set up
Bookkeeping in QuickBooks Online or Xero with the owner's contributions and withdrawals tracked separately (they are what Form 5472 reports), a compliance calendar with one person responsible for it, the 5472 and pro forma 1120 fax-filed with the transmission report kept, the ECI question answered in writing, and the state calendar owned. Replies within 8 hours across time zones, on WhatsApp if that is where you are.
Pricing
Form 5472 with pro forma 1120 from $99. Bookkeeping from $99 a month on the Micro plan. Formation with the first-year calendar quoted as one number. Late years quoted per year with a reasonable-cause request prepared for each.
Questions people ask
I formed a Wyoming LLC last year and filed nothing. What now?
File the missed Form 5472 with a reasonable-cause statement before any notice arrives; that is the strongest position for relief. We quote all open years together.
Do I owe US income tax on my LLC's profit?
Only on US-connected income. Selling to US customers from abroad with no US staff, office or inventory often creates none, but the 5472 is due either way. We review the facts before filing.
Can you help with Stripe, Mercury or Wise compliance requests?
Yes. They ask for good standing, EIN letters, W-9s and sometimes financial statements; we keep all of it ready.
