US LLC Tax Filing for Digital Nomads
Many digital nomads use a US LLC to provide a US banking presence, professional credibility, and access to payment platforms like Stripe and PayPal. But a US LLC doesn't eliminate your US tax obligations — it creates additional ones. As a US citizen or green card holder, your LLC income flows through to your personal return via Schedule C, and self-employment tax applies. We handle the complete nomad LLC tax picture, including FBAR for business accounts.

Frequently asked questions about US LLC Tax Filing for Digital Nomads
Does my US LLC protect me from self-employment tax?
A single-member LLC disregarded for tax purposes does not change your SE tax exposure. SE tax (15.3%) applies to net profit regardless of the LLC. An S-Corp election can reduce SE tax, but adds compliance costs.
Do I need to file anything for the LLC itself?
For a single-member US LLC that is a disregarded entity, there's no separate federal tax return for the LLC itself. All income is reported on your personal Schedule C. Some states require a separate LLC tax filing.
Should I form my LLC in Wyoming, Delaware, or another state?
Formation state affects state filing fees, franchise taxes, and legal protections but generally doesn't change federal tax treatment. Wyoming and Delaware are popular for low fees and strong legal frameworks. We can advise on tax implications of different states.
