Foreign owned US based LLC funding

Our LLC is incorporated in the state of Wyoming and the members are based in India. The members are transferring funds to the LLC, however, it expected 2-3 months for the process to complete. As a supplier payment is coming up, I want to check if a US-based relative of the members can pay the supplier using their credit card? Members are ok to record this as a gift and the donor does not expect the funds to be returned to them. I wanted to understand what are the tax and book-keeping considerations and if this would be a recommended approach?

Nonresident Tax Issues

Help Needed for Nonresident Tax Filing (OPT, TPS, Incorrect W-2)

Hello, I need assistance with filing my 2024 taxes as a nonresident alien for tax purposes. Here’s my situation: I was on an F-1 visa with OPT for most of 2024, and I am now under TPS (Temporary Protected Status). As an F-1 visa holder for less than 5 years, I am exempt from Social Security and Medicare taxes, but my employer mistakenly withheld these taxes from my paycheck. My W-2 is incorrect because it does not properly reflect my earnings or tax withholdings. However, my employer provided a separate document showing my gross and net earnings so I can calculate and pay what I actually owe. I need to file Form 1040-NR and Form 8843 to notify the IRS of my tax status. I also bought and sold $10 of cryptocurrency, which I need to report. My main priority is correctly filing my taxes and ensuring I pay only what I actually owe while also addressing the W-2 issue. Where can I find a CPA or tax expert experienced with nonresident tax filing for individuals on OPT/TPS? Would you be able to assist me, or can you recommend someone?
