BizFyle LLC is a dedicated business formation and compliance services company helping non-resident entrepreneurs, freelancers, and global business owners establish and maintain their U.S.-based LLCs — entirely online, from anywhere in the world.
We specialize in Wyoming LLC formation, a favorite among international clients for its zero state income tax, strong privacy protections, low maintenance costs, and no residency requirements. From filing your Articles of Organization to annual compliance and IRS tax filings, BizFyle handles every step so you can focus on growing your business.
Forming a Wyoming LLC as a non-resident follows the same process as for U.S. residents — and BizFyle handles every step remotely, with no paperwork burden on you. The process of formation with the state is completed online, typically within 2–4 business days.
Every Wyoming LLC — whether owned by a U.S. resident or non-resident — must meet annual compliance requirements to remain in good standing with the state. Failure to comply can result in administrative dissolution of your LLC.
Wyoming LLCs must file an Annual Report each year. The report is due on the first day of the anniversary month of your LLC's formation date.
State Fee: $64/year (flat fee for LLCs with Wyoming assets ≤ $300,000; higher-asset LLCs pay $0.0002 per dollar of assets).
Wyoming law requires your LLC to maintain a Registered Agent with a physical Wyoming address at all times throughout the life of your LLC.
Your BizFyle Registered Agent service must be renewed annually to keep your LLC active and compliant with state law.
Understanding your U.S. tax obligations is critical for running a compliant LLC as a non-resident operating outside the United States. Below is a clear breakdown of what applies to you.
While Wyoming imposes no state income tax, U.S. federal tax obligations apply to all LLCs operating in or connected to the United States. The specific forms required depend on your LLC's ownership structure and the nature of your income.
| Form | Who Must File | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Single-Member LLC (Foreign-Owned Disregarded Entity) | ||
| Pro-Forma Form 1120 | Foreign-owned Single-Member LLCs | Filed as attachment to Form 5472 — not a standalone tax return. Required by IRS for non-resident disregarded entities. |
| Form 5472 | Foreign-owned U.S. LLCs (25%+ foreign ownership) | Mandatory disclosure of related-party transactions. $25,000 IRS penalty for non-filing. |
| Form 1040-NR | Non-U.S. resident owners with U.S.-source income | Personal income tax return for nonresident aliens. Filed alongside Form 5472. |
| Multi-Member LLC (Partnership) | ||
| Form 1065 | Multi-member LLCs (treated as partnership by default) | U.S. Return of Partnership Income. Reports the LLC's income, deductions, gains, and losses to the IRS. |
| Schedule K-1 | Each individual member of a multi-member LLC | Reports each member's share of income, deductions, and credits. Issued to all members along with Form 1065. |
| Form 1040-NR | Non-U.S. resident members with U.S.-source income | Personal income tax return for nonresident alien members. Filed based on each member's K-1 income allocation. |

If you decide to close your Wyoming LLC, the state requires filing Articles of Dissolution with the Wyoming Secretary of State. Dissolving properly protects you from future compliance obligations, annual fees, and liability.
BizFyle manages the entire dissolution process on your behalf — preparing and filing all required documentation with the state.
