A single member limited liability company (SMLLC) should file a 1040-NR using Schedule C as though they were an individual and not a company. The SMLLC is a 'disregarded' entity or not recognized as a company for tax purposes.

 

If you fall into any of the categories below, you must file Form 1040-NR for your income received from the United States (US). 

A.  Who Must Files

If you are any of the following, you must file a return:

  1. A nonresident alien individual engaged or considered to be engaged in a trade or business in the United States during the year.
  2. A nonresident alien individual who is not engaged in a trade or business in the United States and has U.S. income on which the tax liability was not satisfied by the withholding of tax at the source.
  3. A representative or agent responsible for filing the return of an individual described in (1) or (2),
  4. A fiduciary for a nonresident alien estate or trust, or
  5. A resident or domestic fiduciary, or other person, charged with the care of the person or property of a nonresident individual may be required to file an income tax return for that individual and pay the tax (Refer to Treas. Reg. 1.6012-3(b)).
