As the owner of a Delaware LLC, you might be wondering about your tax obligations, especially if you’re conducting business from outside the U.S. Understanding these obligations is crucial for managing your business effectively.
Federal Tax Obligations
If you own a Delaware LLC and are merely transferring money through the LLC’s bank account, you generally do not have a U.S. federal tax obligation, provided that you are the sole owner of all the accounts involved. This is because the LLC is considered a pass-through entity for tax purposes, meaning the income and expenses pass through to the owner’s personal tax return.
Delaware Franchise Tax
While you may not owe federal taxes, you are required to pay the Delaware franchise tax to maintain your LLC’s active status. This annual tax is approximately $300 and is necessary for keeping your LLC in good standing with the state.
