Everything a foreign-owned LLC must file

US sales tax compliance filings we handle

Foreign-owned LLCs have obligations most US sellers never think about. We track every one so nothing lapses.

Form 1120 + 5472

The annual federal return for foreign-owned LLCs, required even with zero US tax due.

BOI report (FinCEN)

Beneficial Ownership Information report, required for all US LLCs. One-time, we file it.

Texas franchise tax

A No-Tax-Due report under $1.23M revenue; full franchise filing above it. We handle both.

Sales-tax nexus tracking

We monitor your sales across 50 states and register you where you cross economic-nexus thresholds.

Nexus & registration

State sales-tax registration at $99 each, only where you actually need it, no over-registering.

Clean books

QuickBooks Online kept current with proper documentation, so an audit is a paperwork exercise, not a crisis.

The marketplace-facilitator trap

Amazon collecting sales tax is not the same as you being compliant

Under marketplace-facilitator laws, Amazon collects and remits sales tax on FBA orders in most states automatically. Sellers assume that means they're done. They're not.

You still cross income-tax nexus, still owe the federal return, and still must register where thresholds are crossed. The filings remain yours to make.

“Amazon collecting tax for you is convenience, not compliance, the returns are still in your name.”
US sales tax compliance paperwork for foreign-owned LLCs

The $25,000 filing nobody warns you about

A foreign-owned single-member LLC must file Form 1120 with Form 5472 every year, even with zero US income. Miss it and the IRS penalty starts at $25,000. This is the single most common, most expensive mistake Indian sellers make. We make sure it never happens to you.

Common questions

What sellers ask about taxes

Do I owe US income tax as an Indian LLC owner?+

If your LLC has US-effectively-connected income (which Amazon FBA sales are), yes. Federal corporate rate is 21% on net profit. Most sellers actually pay less because of legitimate deductions.

What is sales tax nexus?+

When you cross a state's threshold (typically $100K sales or 200 transactions per year), you must collect and remit sales tax. Amazon collects on FBA for most states automatically, but YOU still need to file in nexus states.

What is BOI?+

Beneficial Ownership Information report filed with FinCEN. Required for all US LLCs. One-time filing, takes 30 minutes. We do it for $49 if you forgot to file it.

Texas franchise tax, do I owe it?+

Only if your LLC made over $1.23M in gross revenue. Below that, you file a "No Tax Due Report" annually. Free. We handle it.

Will the IRS audit me?+

Foreign-owned single-member LLCs have a slightly higher audit rate than average. We keep clean books with QuickBooks Online and proper documentation, so an audit is a paperwork exercise, not a problem.

What does this cost?+

Annual federal Form 1120 + state filing: $499 if no employees. Sales tax registration per state: $99 each. Quarterly compliance check-ins: $99/quarter. Most clients spend under $1,500/year total on compliance.

How it really works

US sales tax for FBA sellers, without the myths

Most sellers either over-register and burn money, or ignore it and build up risk. The right answer is narrower than both.

Marketplace facilitator reality

Amazon and Walmart collect and remit sales tax in every state with facilitator laws. That removes most collection burden, but some states still expect a registration once your stock sits there.

FBA stock creates nexus

Inventory in a state is physical presence. We track where FBA places your units and flag only the states where a registration is genuinely required, nothing extra.

What we handle

State registrations, the filing calendar, zero returns where required, and notices when a state writes to you. You get a clean file, not a shoebox of letters.

Stay compliant, sleep at night

US CPAs handling your federal, state, and sales-tax filings on a flat fee, so the $25,000 letter never arrives.
