Foreign owned US based LLC funding

Asked onTuesday, May 06, 2025 by Nishant

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)

Asked onMonday, March 24, 2025 by Gian

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?

Wash Sales Rule Question

Asked onThursday, March 20, 2025 by Abhish

I started day trading in 2024 and ignorant of wash sales, traded in December 2024 continuing into 2025. So I am assuming I incurred some wash sales tax in 2024. Now in 2025 I want to avoid this and decide if I should continue with day trading. So lets say in 2025 I started with $10000 and I kept trading only SPY options daily (multiple times daily) and net in one day I lose $1000 and next day I make $1000 and this keeps happening for all the trading days of the year. In the end in my account, I didn't make or lose any money. So if I trade all the months of the year, with 250 trading days, I should be paying tax for $125000 gains I made is what I understand from Wash sales rule. Is that correct? Now if in the the month of December 2025 I don't trade. What kind of tax would I have to pay for 2025? Will it be zero is my question. For keeping it simple assume I am in the highest tax bracket. Also I have another job and don't have an LLC or Mark to Market.
