Hi,

how do you guys file taxes for your US non resident LLC?

Any guide including types of taxes to be filed, dates and process would be appreciated.

File on time otherwise penalties make life worse

Non-resident LLCs are typically treated as “disregarded entities” for tax purposes, meaning the income is generally reported on the owner’s individual tax return.

File Form 1040NR (U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return) or Form 1040NR-E.

If the LLC has employees, it may need to pay federal and state employment taxes, including Social Security and Medicare taxes.

As a non-resident LLC, you may need to file the following taxes:

  1. Federal Income Tax: You’ll need to file Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ to report your LLC’s income generated in the US.

  2. State Taxes: Depending on the state where your LLC operates or generates income, you may need to file state income tax returns as well.

  3. Self-Employment Tax: If you’re considered self-employed, you may need to pay self-employment tax, which covers Social Security and Medicare taxes. This is typically done using Schedule SE along with your federal income tax return.

The filing deadlines for federal income tax returns are generally April 15th, but they can vary, so it’s important to check the IRS website or consult a tax professional for the most up-to-date information.

To ensure accuracy and compliance, it’s highly recommended to work with a qualified tax professional who can guide you through the process and help you take advantage of any available deductions or credits.

Remember, tax laws can be complex and subject to change, so it’s crucial to seek professional advice.
