    Hi James
    My wife and I have a LLC registered in Delaware for about 5 years. Given that we are subjected to “foreign exchange control”, we have only been sending EFT’s to the US company bank account as “ officer’s loans”. However the CPA we are using is charging a ridiculous amount to reconcie a bank account, with relatively very low movement to submit each year to the IRS. Any advice please?
    Thanks

    Looking on US side, that is true. But on the other side, being an owner of 'US person' - for tax purposes - makes the owner subject to CFC regulation in many countries (CFC = Controlled Foreign Company). And depending on a particular law regimme, this creates many complications with non-US part of reporting.

    • @JamesBakerCPA
      @JamesBakerCPA  7 місяців тому +2

      Well if you are from CA it doesn't make a difference. An LLC is seen as a Corporation. So yes you always need to see what your local tax laws are because it is complicated.

    I feel like I am missing something. What is the W9 trouble people are having with SMLLCs? A W9 can be filled out for a SMLLC, but one needs to put one's social instead of one's EIN. I don't get what the issue is ... or, are you referring to any SMLLC, or just an SMLLC with a sole owner that is not a US person? For example, if a US citizen owns a SMLLC as a natural person, do you see any reason to switch to multi-member LLC in 2024? Or are you just talking about LLCs owned by foreign persons/entities?

    • @jc_duenas

    Hi James, sadly I filed a single-member LLC back in October 2023. It seems I should have gone with a multi-member LLC. My LLC is in California, but I will be working with manufactureres in Portugal... I have not in 2023. What can I do? Whom do I reach out to for support... YOU?

    What about the option to elect your llc to be taxed as a c-corp by filing form 8832, does it works ? Since you can use W9 in this case

    • @JamesBakerCPA
      @JamesBakerCPA  7 місяців тому

      This would work and you can use the W9 in this instance. You would be subject to US income taxation with a corporation.

      It's the same cost to just form a MMLLC the first time. So if that's what you want open it like that

    Mercury hasn't sent me any forms yet. I'm a citizen of Morocco, and I have an LLC. Previously, they asked for proof of our business's physical address. Now, I'm a bit confused here!, especially since my Mercury account is up and running without any issues.

      Mercury does this in small batches, otherwise they would overwhelm their own staff.
      You can choose to wait for it. Just have someone standby to become your LLC’s second member when needed.
