Can a Canadian citizen own an LLC in the USA?
Yes. Canadians can own a US LLC in any state. You don’t need to be a US citizen or resident. You’ll need an EIN from the IRS and must file Form 5472 annually.
How much does it cost to start an LLC from Canada?
Wyoming costs $1,000 to file plus $60/year. Delaware costs $1,100 to file plus $300/year. Add $50-200/year for a registered agent.
What is the best state to form an LLC for Canadians?
Wyoming for low costs and privacy. Delaware for credibility with US investors. Nevada for no state income tax. Most Canadian business owners choose Wyoming.
How is a US LLC taxed in Canada?
CRA treats your US LLC as a foreign corporation. You report it on Form T1134. If your LLC earns passive income, FAPI rules may apply and you’ll owe Canadian tax even before taking money out.
How are US LLCs taxed by the IRS?
Single-member LLCs are “disregarded” for US tax. You file a 1040-NR as a Canadian and must file Form 5472 with a pro forma 1120 by April 15 each year.
How do I avoid double taxation on my US LLC?
Canada and the US have a tax treaty, but it doesn’t fully cover LLCs. The better approach: charge your LLC a management fee that reduces US profit and shifts income to Canada. We set this up for you.
What is FAPI and does it apply to my LLC?
FAPI stands for Foreign Accrual Property Income. If your US LLC earns passive income like interest, rent, or royalties, CRA may tax you on it immediately, even if you leave the money in the LLC.
What is Form 5472 and when is it due?
Form 5472 reports transactions between your US LLC and you as the foreign owner. It’s due April 15 each year, filed with a pro forma Form 1120. Fortunately, we offer accurate LLC tax filing services if you are worried about filing it wrong,
What happens if I miss the Form 5472 deadline?
The IRS charges $25,000 per form, per year. If you’re behind, we can help you file late and request penalty relief.
Do I need to report my US LLC to CRA?
Yes. You report it on Form T1134 (foreign affiliate) and Form T1135 if your foreign assets exceed $100,000 CAD. Missing these triggers CRA penalties too.
What is the LLC tax deadline for 2025?
Form 5472 and pro forma 1120 are due April 15, 2025 for calendar-year LLCs. You can file Form 7004 for a 6-month extension. Our LLC tax accountants in Toronto track all deadlines for you.
What are the different LLC tax forms?
For Canadian-owned US LLCs: Form 5472 (foreign ownership reporting), pro forma 1120 (filed with 5472), Form 1040-NR along with W7 for ITIN application, Form 8832 (entity classification), and Form 7004 (extension).
On the CRA side: T1134 (foreign affiliate) and T1135 (foreign assets over $100K CAD). Our LLC tax filing services cover all of them.
Should I have a Canadian corporation own my US LLC?
If your LLC earns significant income, a Canadian corporation can receive management fees at around 12% tax instead of up to 50% personal tax. Our LLC tax accountants help you decide if this structure makes sense for your situation.
How much do LLC tax filing services cost?
Our LLC formation tax services range from $1,000 to $1,400 depending on your structure and filing needs. Book a free with our LLC tax experts for exact pricing.
