Platform or CPA Firm?
Formation platforms sell software: fast, cheap, and finished the moment your company exists. A CPA firm takes responsibility — for the formation, the bank account, and every filing year after. Both are legitimate choices. They are different products.

PART 6
"Tax-Free" — What It Really Means
A U.S. LLC owned by non-U.S. residents can legally owe $0 U.S. federal income tax when ALL of the following conditions are met: 1. All owners are individuals (not corporations) and all are non-U.S. residents. 2. The company has no U.S. employees. 3. The company has no warehouse or shipping facility in the U.S.
But $0 tax does NOT mean $0 filing. Every foreign-owned U.S. LLC must file Form 5472 with a pro-forma Form 1120 every year — even with zero income and zero tax due. The IRS penalty for missing this filing is $25,000 per form, applied automatically (IRC §6038A(d)(1)). Our CPA firm prepares this filing for every company we form — annual tax filing from $599 — and every client receives filing deadline reminders so you never face this penalty.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost for a non-US resident to form a US LLC?
$999 one-time, all-inclusive — company formation, state filing fees, EIN, U.S. address, U.S. phone number, registered agent for one year, and applications with two U.S. banking institutions with at least one approved account guaranteed.
Can I open a US bank account without traveling to the US?
Yes. We work with U.S. banking institutions that onboard non-residents remotely. We submit applications to two institutions and guarantee at least one approved account, guiding you through the KYC process.
Which state is best for a non-US resident LLC?
For most non-resident owners we recommend New Mexico: $0 annual government fee, no franchise tax, and no state corporate income tax. Delaware suits companies planning to raise U.S. venture capital; Wyoming offers strong privacy at low cost; Florida fits U.S.-facing e-commerce and physical presence plans.
Is a US LLC really tax-free for non-residents?
It can be, when strict conditions are met: all owners are non-resident individuals, no U.S. employees, and no U.S. warehouse or fulfillment facility. Even at $0 tax, the LLC must still file Form 5472 annually — the penalty for missing it is $25,000. Our filing packages cover this from $599 per year.
How long does the whole process take?
Normal processing: company in 20–30 days, EIN in 45–60 days, bank account 7–10 days after that. Expedite service (NM/WY +$129, DE/FL +$229): company in 2 business days, EIN in about 14 days.
What are the renewal costs after the first year?
$249/year covering registered agent, U.S. mailing address, and company license management, plus government fees at cost (NM $0, WY $52, FL $150, DE $300) — no binding contract. That's the only required annual cost; tax filing is your choice, and most clients add our CPA-prepared filing from $599. Even combined, that's far below the compliance plans commonly priced at $1,999/yr at formation platforms.
What documents do I need?
Only a valid passport from a non-restricted country, provided after your company name is confirmed available.
