These thresholds vary by state. For example:\n<ul>\n<li><strong>New Mexico<\/strong>: If your gross receipts exceed <strong>$100,000<\/strong>, you are required to pay <strong>gross receipts tax<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wyoming<\/strong>: You must collect <strong>sales tax<\/strong> if you have more than <strong>$100,000 in sales<\/strong> or over <strong>200 transactions<\/strong> in the state.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Florida<\/strong>: Sales tax must be collected if your remote business has over <strong>$100,000 in sales<\/strong> annually.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Make sure to check the specific tax regulations for the state your LLC is registered in to ensure compliance.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Federal Income Tax<\/strong>: While LLCs are considered pass-through entities and do not pay taxes at the company level, your <strong>U.S.-sourced income<\/strong> may be subject to <strong>federal income tax<\/strong>. As a non-resident, you will need to report this income on <strong>IRS Form 1040-NR<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>State Income Tax<\/strong>: Many states impose <strong>state income tax<\/strong> on income earned from activities within the state. If your LLC generates income in any U.S. state, you may be required to file a <strong>state income tax return<\/strong>. However, some states, like Wyoming and Nevada, do not impose a state income tax.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>It\u2019s important to review any applicable <strong>tax treaties<\/strong> between your country of residence and the U.S. These treaties may provide exemptions or reduced tax rates on U.S.-sourced income, helping you avoid double taxation.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Incorporate Your LLC<\/strong><br \/>\nNow that you have a clearer understanding of the tax obligations associated with owning a US LLC as a non-US resident, you may be ready to formalize your business.
