Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@Puduhepa , I agree with the IRS that  (a) your entity / LLC  is only a name for US tax purposes. In needs to have  physical presence to become a taxable entity; (b)  selling product  to US customers, as an on-line trader  you are a not US taxpayer and the income  is taxable ONLY  where you are resident i.e. your home country ( generally);  (c) you are correct that if you indeed had  passive incomes like interest paid by US banks, rental income etc. , US would consider those as US sourced income and you will have to file a return and pay taxes  on the income ( at quite a high rate though ).

Also if you indeed had to file return, you would need an ITIN.  For that the easiest is to  file a return , sign/date the paperfile and include with it  the fully filled out form W-7 ( request for ITIN ) and include original documents like your passport (or certified copies of the same  working through professional agents whom have been certified by the IRS -- most countries have multiple of these agents, especially in the big cities ).  So unless you need the ITIN  ( it can ONLY be used for tax filing ), perhaps you should not follow through on this.

 

Is there more I can do for you ?
