Formation is day one. Taxes are every year.
A US LLC owned by a non-resident has federal filing duties every year, even if it earns nothing. Missing them is the most expensive mistake foreign founders make.
Form 5472 + pro-forma 1120
Required every year for single-member LLCs owned by a foreign person. $25,000 penalty per missed form.
Form 1065 + K-1s
Required every year for multi-member LLCs. Late penalties are charged per partner, per month.
State annual fees
Wyoming annual report (from $60). Delaware LLC annual tax ($400, due June 1).
Returns prepared and signed by a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Nothing goes to the IRS until you have said yes.

Two plans. One-time fees, clear renewals.
Form the company for a flat $200, or add every federal tax filing your LLC owes for the first year from $500. Both are one-time payments plus state filing fees; the registered agent and annual tax filing renew yearly.
Total Compliance
The formation plus every US federal filing your LLC owes for the first year, prepared and filed for you. Every foreign-owned LLC must file with the IRS each year; this plan includes your first.
Form 5472 carries a $25,000 penalty if it is not filed.
If we have not filed within 30 days, we refund our fee. The EIN is issued by the IRS and can take longer, so for formation the 30 days applies to the state filing. Refund policy

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a US address or SSN?+
No. AvenueUS provides a registered agent address and obtains your EIN without an SSN or ITIN.
How long does formation take?+
Wyoming typically clears in 1-2 business days. Delaware in 2-3. EIN for non-residents takes 2-4 weeks.
Can I open a US bank account?+
Yes. Most clients open Mercury, Relay, or Wise Business remotely with our walkthrough.
Do I have to file US taxes if my LLC made no money?+
Yes, the filing is still required. A foreign-owned single-member LLC files a pro-forma Form 1120 with Form 5472 every year, even with zero income; a multi-member LLC files Form 1065. Owing tax is a separate question: many non-resident owners owe none, but the return is mandatory. More on US taxes
What is Form 5472 and what happens if I miss it?+
Form 5472 reports transactions between a foreign-owned US LLC and its foreign owner. It is attached to a pro-forma Form 1120. The IRS penalty for not filing it is $25,000 per form, per year. More on US taxes
Will I personally owe US income tax?+
It depends. Income from work you do outside the US for non-US customers is generally not US-sourced, so many owners owe no US income tax. US-source income or income effectively connected with a US trade or business can be taxable. This is general information, not tax advice. More on US taxes
Is BOI reporting still required?+
No. Under FinCEN's final rule effective August 2026, companies formed in the United States are exempt from beneficial ownership (BOI) reporting. Banks may still ask for ownership details under their own due-diligence rules. More on US taxes
What do I pay after the first year?+
Each year there is a state fee (Wyoming annual report from $60; Delaware LLC annual tax of $400, due June 1), a registered agent renewal, and your federal tax filing. Our renewal prices are $110 for the registered agent and $225 for a single-member federal filing. More on US taxes
Can you file taxes for an LLC formed by another company?+
Yes. You do not need to have formed your company with us. Annual filing prices start at $240 for a single-member LLC, $400 for a multi-member LLC and $640 for a C-Corporation. Send your EIN letter and formation documents when you start your filing. More on US taxes
