We help you choose the right state to minimize taxes.
Flat 21% of net profit
Profit passes to owners → taxed individually (foreign owners usually 30% withholding unless treaty applies)
Delaware has 0% corporate tax for out-of-state sales, but California can charge up to 8–12%
Marketplaces (Amazon, Walmart) usually auto-collect & remit
But in some states → owner responsible
Even if your business makes $0 income, you must still file a tax return.
This is called Zero Filing → IRS and State just get a "no income reported" return.
Example:
Delaware Franchise Tax minimum = $300/year (even if no profit)
So, "No Sales" ≠ "No Filing."
We handle Zero Filing at a lower cost, keeping your company active and penalty-free.

No federal tax if there is no U.S. source income, but filing is still mandatory every year. Even without U.S. customers, you must submit annual returns to maintain compliance and good standing.
Wyoming, South Dakota, Texas, Florida, and others have no personal income tax. However, sales tax may still be required depending on your business activities and where you sell.
The IRS charges heavy penalties and daily interest until you file. Penalties can be $200+ per month for LLCs and much higher for corporations. It’s crucial to file on time or request extensions when needed.
Yes. Tax treaties between the U.S. and many countries prevent paying twice on the same income. We help you understand and apply these treaty benefits to minimize your overall tax burden.
Yes, if your U.S. company earns Effectively Connected Income (ECI) from U.S. trade or business, you must file and pay federal tax. The location of the owner doesn’t cancel the tax duty.
Federal tax depends on your business income. State tax depends on where you form and where you do business. Some states have no personal income tax, but may still charge franchise or sales taxes.
Yes, in most cases. After the Supreme Court’s Wayfair decision, states can require nonresident online sellers to collect sales tax once they cross a revenue/transaction threshold.
Yes. Many countries have treaties that lower or remove the 30% FDAP withholding tax on things like dividends, royalties, or interest. You must claim treaty benefits on your return.
Use Form 1040-NR if you personally own the business. If you run through a U.S. entity (like an LLC), you may also need to file extra forms.
Every day you delay filing is a day closer to penalties, interest charges, and potential legal
complications. Don’t let procrastination cost you thousands in unnecessary fees.
Don’t wait until it’s too late. The longer you delay, the more complex and expensive your tax situation becomes. Take action today and secure your business’s future with proper U.S. tax compliance.
