03The tax picture

Florida LLC tax for non-residents

Florida charges no personal income tax, and its 5.5% only touches companies taxed as corporations. Federal tax depends on where the work happens. Pick your setup.

04Your first dates

Florida LLC annual report: when yours is due

No report is due in the year you form. Choose a 1 January start late in the year and the first one moves back a full year. Compare.

    05Florida property

    Buying Florida property through an LLC

    An LLC can own a Florida home or office. Since 2023, though, people from seven countries face limits, and the courts have let the law stand.

    The seven countries

    China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela and Syria. For people domiciled in China, the ban covers almost all Florida property.

    Not from one of them?

    Then an LLC buys like anyone else. When it sells later, the buyer usually holds back 15% for US tax until the return settles it.

    06Crypto

    A Florida LLC for crypto: what needs a licence

    Florida licenses those who move money from one person to another. Your company's own coins and crypto payments for your work sit outside that, as we read the law. See our crypto company guide for other places.

    Comparison: about 30% below the lowest complete first-year package we found for a founder with no SSN, about $364, and the lowest done-for-you renewal, $287.75, in November 2026. With Form 5472 added, ours is $386.75 a year, against $835.75 at the lowest we found.

    Questions

    Florida LLC questions, answered

    Still choosing a state? Our US LLC guide for founders abroad puts Florida beside four other states, and the Wyoming vs Delaware comparison goes deeper on those two.

    Can a non-resident form an LLC in Florida?
    Yes. Any nationality can own a Florida LLC, from anywhere, with no visit. You need a Florida registered agent, which we provide, and your principal office can be your address abroad.
    How much does a Florida LLC cost?
    The state charges $125 to form and $138.75 a year. With Heirson it's $254 in year one and $207.75 a year after, with the agent, tax number and yearly report included.
    When is the Florida annual report due?
    Between 1 January and 1 May every year, starting the year after you form. A late report costs $400 more and can't be waived, which is why we file it for you early.
    Can I have an anonymous LLC in Florida?
    Not with your own name as manager, because the yearly report shows it. A company you own can be the manager instead. For a quieter record at a lower cost, Wyoming suits better. Our Sunbiz search guide walks through that public record line by line.
    Does a Florida LLC owned by a non-resident pay US tax?
    A single owner abroad with no US staff, office or other US trade usually owes no US income tax and no Florida tax. Form 5472 is still due every year, and your home country may tax you. Florida's side, from the 5.5% corporate tax to sales tax and stamp tax, is in our Florida LLC tax guide.
    How do I get an EIN without an SSN?
    The IRS online tool won't take a founder abroad, so we file Form SS-4 by fax for you. It usually takes about four working days and needs no ITIN.
    Do I need to file a beneficial ownership report?
    No. FinCEN's final rule of August 2026 exempts companies formed in the US, so a Florida LLC files nothing there. Florida has no owner register of its own.
    Can a Florida LLC have series?
    Yes, since 1 July 2026. Florida now allows protected series, each with its own name inside the LLC. Ask us and we'll quote it.
    Can I open a US bank account from abroad?
    Yes. Several US fintech banks accept companies owned from abroad, and want a real business address rather than the agent's. We handle the application with you, and it almost always goes through.
    Do I collect Florida sales tax?
    Only if you sell taxable goods or services into Florida, and as a seller from outside the state, once your Florida sales pass $100,000 a year. The rate starts at 6%.
