Taxes related to 2023 - foreign-owned corporation
Hello, I would like to know if you provide services to assist with tax declaration related to 2023. My LLC is considered a foreign-owned corporation because I am not a US citizen. If I understand well, I need to file a 5472 + 1120 Proforma (Foreign ownership of a US company) - is that correct? I will be kindly waiting for your reply. Thanks.

Tax forms for Foreign Owner
Hi there, I was reside in the states until last year under a work visa and from 2021, I have established an LLC with a US citizen. Since 2023, I officially moved out and back to my country, Indonesia. For this upcoming tax year, what forms do I need to file now that I move out the country? In the past, I filed 1065 and K1. Thanks.

Tax liability when LLC terminate
I established an LLC in October last year and terminated the company in March this year. The company has been inactive for the past period and has no revenue, expenses, or bank accounts. Do I still need to file a tax return with the IRS?

Old expenses
I just officially filed paperwork as an llc (beginningof year). I primarily resale clothing and have old inventory from purchases made many years ago (may or may not have intended to sell at the time). I am wondering if it's worth it to list them for sale or deduct as a loss. Many items are older purchases that I likely do not have receipts or statements anymore. - Can I still sell them and if so, and do not have the receipt and or debit/credit card statement, how do I expense them? And should I expect to get taxed for the net amount of the sale at today's cost? - Is there a way to calculate amortization for items more than a year old (with or without the receipts)? - What is the impact of writing them off as a loss if I choose to not sell and do not have the receipts/statements? Thank you.

requirements for hiring my child via sole prop
My single member LLC does not run a payroll system. My 15 yr old child was hired with clear job description, time sheets and over the span of 2023, he was paid from LLC’s bank account directly to his personal bank account. He earned less than the standard deduction amount. He did not get a w-2 nor a 1099. Is it ok for the LLC (single member is parent) to direct deposit to child’s bank account without a payroll system? Additionally, can I show the child wages deduction on my tax return as “outside services” on schedule C without having filed a w2 or 1099?

Deducting Advisor Fees
I'm finding conflicting information about whether I can deduct my tax advisor fees on my IL tax return. I realize that after 2017 you can no longer do that FEDERALLY, but I am wondering about on my STATE return specifically. I called Turbotax and the rep chatted with a CPA who was finding conflicting information on this in her research. The Turbotax software has a section for IL that says "you can reduce your Illinois income by the amount of expenses used to maintain investments that are not subject to tax on your federal return, but are taxable in Illinois. Also, include expenses you couldn't deduct on your federal return because you took a federal credit related to those expenses." So if I paid a 1% fee to my financial advisor to manage a traditional IRA and a 1% fee to manage a separate roth IRA are those management fees deductible? If so is that total amount what I would enter in this section? Thank you!

Passthrough LLC and mandated taxes Federal and State
I am trying to form a passthrough LLC and currently, I will be a single member of this company. If I get any customer who is will to pay some money for my consulting services, I want to charge my customer on this LLC, and take a salary from this company for my services. I want to know, what are the Federal and Florida State tax forms I have to submit, and when. Can I do them on my own, or do I need to hire experts like you? If I have to hire you, how much that would cost me. As on time, my company is not yet registered.
