Non-Resident US LLC Tax Calculator (2026)

For non-US residents who own a US LLC. Estimates whether your LLC owes US federal tax and what you must file regardless.

Non-Resident US LLC Tax Estimator

For non-US residents who form a US LLC (typically Wyoming or Delaware). This estimates whether your LLC owes US federal income tax — and what you must file regardless. Your home country still taxes you; this only covers US obligations.

Estimated US federal tax$0

Effective Connected Income (ECI) status: NO — generally not US-taxable

Mandatory annual compliance (regardless of tax owed)

  • Estimated CPA prep cost~$1,500/yr
  • FinCEN BOI reportFree, mandatory
  • Form 5472 or 1065Annual

Key notes for your scenario

  • Online services delivered to US customers from outside the US typically do NOT create a US trade or business under current IRS guidance.
  • Pure SaaS / digital products / consulting delivered remotely is generally not ECI.
  • Single-member LLC (disregarded entity): Must file Form 5472 + pro-forma 1120 annually. Penalty for missing: $25,000.
What this calculator does NOT cover
  • Your home-country tax (CFC, GILTI-equivalent, dividend repatriation, etc.).
  • State income tax (most states only tax in-state activity — Wyoming/Delaware non-resident LLCs usually owe nothing).
  • Withholding agent obligations (FDAP, 1042-S filings).
  • Treaty positions — must be claimed on Form W-8BEN-E with the LLC's withholding agent.
  • FIRPTA (real property), branch profits tax, dispositions.

This is the most error-prone area in non-resident LLC tax. If your numbers are non-trivial, hire a CPA who specializes in US international tax (Form 5472, ECI determinations) — ~$1,500-$3,000/yr is well-spent insurance.
