I originally created my account as an individual. I got the quotes for the insurance and they were about 440$ yearly.
As a non-US resident will I get taxed for my profits from now on?
Or does Amazon handle all of the taxing?
Amazon handles state taxes but you’ll be required to file business taxes and net income taxes. Nobody talks about the accounting that is required to run an Amazon business. I’d recommend finding a CPA that specializes in it.
As a non-US resident with an LLC, you’re generally not taxed by the IRS on profits from selling on Amazon unless your business has what’s called “effectively connected income” with a U.S. trade or business, which usually involves having a physical presence like employees or a warehouse in the U.S. Since you’re likely operating remotely, you can often avoid U.S. income tax by submitting a W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E form through Seller Central, which tells Amazon you’re a foreign entity and helps avoid U.S. withholding taxes. Amazon does not handle your taxes entirely—they just report your earnings (if applicable) and may issue a 1099-K if you’re considered U.S.-connected, but you’re still responsible for understanding and filing taxes in your home country. It’s smart to speak with a tax advisor familiar with international e-commerce and LLCs to be sure you’re covered both in the U.S. and back home.
