All businesses are required to file an annual tax return with the IRS whether or not they are active.  Failure to do so can result in penalties for failure to file or failure to pay.  If the entity has non-US founders there can also be large automatic penalties for failure to file specific forms reporting the foreign ownership.  Best advice here is to file annually and on time!

A c-corp will have to file a Federal return (form 1120) annually and the associated forms including informational returns for payments made to non-employees.  A State tax return may also be required and a State Franchise tax return with the state in which you are registered is likely required.  You may also need to file employment taxes if you have employees in the US or sales taxes.  It can seem quite daunting, but we can help!

Federal taxes for an LLC will depend on whether you are a Single Member or a Multi Member LLC.
  • Single member LLCs are treated as Sole Proprietorships and you would typically file your normal 1040 plus schedule C. 
  • Multi member LLCs are treated as partnership so must file form 1065, then each member reports their share of the profits or losses on their personal tax return. 
You may also need to file informational returns such as 1099s to report payments to non-employees. A State tax return may also be required and a State Franchise tax return with the state in which you are registered is likely required.  You may also need to file employment taxes if you have employees in the US or sales taxes.  It can seem quite daunting, but we can help!
Bookkeeping serves two purposes for your business. First, it keeps your company on track with key financial indicators – profit, loss, cash flow – so you can make better decisions. Second, monthly bookkeeping ensures compliance by tracking the financial history for the year, making it easy to report to the IRS in your taxes
