Checklist

Use this before you open the wizard, and again after the state accepts the filing. Nothing here is filed until you confirm it in your account.

Before formation

• 1.Pick LLC or C-Corp. An S-Corp is a tax election, and it is closed to most owners who are not US persons.
• 2.Pick a state. Compare fees on Compare States. C-Corp through Vrutaz is Wyoming or Delaware.
• 3.Write the legal name and designator, and list owners with percentages that add to 100.
• 4.Decide who the responsible party is for the EIN. Without an SSN, the IRS processes Form SS-4 by fax or mail.

After the state accepts it

• 5.Download the certified documents from the vault.
• 6.Save the EIN letter (CP 575) when staff upload it.
• 7.Apply for US banking with the formation pack and EIN. Approval is the bank’s decision.
• 8.Turn on bookkeeping once money moves, and note the first federal return on the calendar.
