Client Testimonials
Hear from people who stopped dreading tax season.
Your expertise and efficiency in handling Texas consultation filings and IRS reporting have been invaluable. We greatly appreciate your prompt communication and attention to detail, ensuring all requirements are met seamlessly. Thank you for your support!
I've worked with Add-wise Tax for many years and they have consistently provided expert level guidance on all tax and business related matters. As my company has scaled from a little more than 10 people to more than 100 a few years later, Sid Jain and Add-wise Tax have been critical in that growth. I would highly recommend Add-wise Tax.

FAQs
Answers to the questions we hear most from clients.
Can a non-US resident form a US LLC?
Yes, non-residents can form and own US LLCs, and it’s a common structure for founders operating internationally.
What’s the best state to form a US LLC as a foreigner?
It depends on your specific business, though factors like state fees, privacy, and tax treatment often make certain states more common choices for non-resident founders. We walk through the tradeoffs for your situation during the initial consultation.
Do I need a US address or Social Security Number to form an LLC?
No, a US address and Social Security Number aren’t required to form an LLC, though you will need an EIN (Form SS-4), which we handle as part of formation.
How long does US LLC formation typically take?
Usually 1-2 weeks, depending on the state, plus additional time for your EIN once the entity is formed.
What happens after my LLC is formed? Do I have ongoing filing requirements?
Yes, foreign-owned LLCs generally have ongoing annual filing requirements, including Form 5472, which is one of the most commonly missed obligations after formation.
Do I need an ITIN to form my LLC?
Not to form the LLC itself, but you’ll likely need one shortly after, since an ITIN is typically required once compliance obligations like Form 5472 or a personal US filing kick in.
