Tax Considerations
Tax Benefits
The LLC is exempt from paying taxes in the United States (with the IRS) as long as all of the following conditions are met:
- The LLC member does not reside in the United States
- The LLC member is not a U.S. person
- The LLC does not have a physical presence in the United States
- The LLC does not have employees in the United States
When one or more of the aforementioned characteristics are not met.
Obligaciones Fiscales
On the income and expenses incurred by the LLC in the tax year prior to the year of filing the income tax return (example the 2025 income tax return is due in 2026).
Your LLC can be fined up to $25,000 if it is a Single-Member LLC. If it is a Multi-Member LLC, monthly penalties may be imposed depending on the issue.
If you have problems with the IRS, it could also create issues when traveling to the United States if you do not live in the country.
It depends on the IRS as it takes into account multiple factors, including the number of members the LLC has, the time you have taken to file your income tax return, etc. The amount of the penalty is known a few weeks after the late filing of the income tax return with the IRS.
The IRS issues a letter with this information and the deadline for payment. This letter is sent to the address that the LLC registered with the IRS when it applied for the EIN. The IRS sends the letter by regular mail and it is the obligation of the LLC owner to be aware and pay it within the deadline to avoid the accumulation of penalties.
It can be appealed, however, the decision to abate or waive it is 100% up to the IRS.
If you want us to do the appeal on behalf of your LLC, the cost of our service is $200.00 non-refundable.

Communication with the IRS
That letter states that your LLC may need to file additional forms to supplement the tax return you have already filed with the IRS. If your LLC received income from U.S. sources, that income is classified as Effectively Connected Income (ECI), meaning it comes from a U.S. source. If so, you must file additional forms with the IRS.
If your LLC’s income is not classified as ECI (it does not come from a U.S. source), you do not need to take any action.
You are the one who knows whether or not the LLC’s income comes from a U.S. source.
Keep it for your records. This is the formal letter issued by the IRS certifying that your LLC's late filing penalty has been waived.
