Pain Points We Solve
Setting up a U.S. LLC as a nonresident is easy — but staying compliant with the IRS is not. Many foreign owners face:
- Confusion about IRS filing requirements for foreign-owned LLCs
- Unawareness of Form 5472 and its penalties
- Difficulty obtaining an EIN without a Social Security Number
- Uncertainty about U.S. tax obligations for disregarded entities
- No clear guidance on banking, payments, and U.S. tax treaties
- Risk of $25,000+ penalties for late or missing filings
