Company maintenance involves more than one annual filing.
State formation, annual reports, taxes in states where the business actually operates, federal filings, accounting records and financial licensing obligations must be managed separately. A company that is not operating is not automatically exempt from filing responsibilities.

02 | Choosing between an LLC, Corporation and foreign-entity registration
美国州法中的foreign qualification常指在另一州成立的企业赴本州经营,并不只指外国国家的公司。香港公司直接在某州登记与香港股东新设美国LLC是不同路径;前者还涉及外国公司美国经营、联邦税务及BOI分析,后者通常是美国设立实体。已有美国公司跨州经营也可能需要Certificate of Authority和原注册州Good Standing证明。[1][6]
按外国国家法律设立、再通过文件在美国州或部落辖区登记经营的非豁免实体仍可能属于报告公司。FinCEN现行页面说明,2025-03-26及以后登记的此类公司通常在收到登记生效通知后30个日历日内初报;对外国个人实益人仍有申报义务,而美国个人有相应豁免。BOI不是每年重复提交的年报,变更与更正另按适用规则判断。银行CDD、IRS Form 5472及州或行业披露不会因CTA豁免而自动取消。[6][7]
保留逐层股权图,列明最终自然人、表决权、控制协议及资金来源。
BOI状态需按实体设立法律而非仅按股东国籍判断。

14 | Annual accounting: record transactions from the first contribution
C Corporation通常使用Form 1120申报联邦公司所得税;一般在税年结束后第四个月15日到期,日历年公司通常对应次年4月15日,周末、法定假日、灾害延期或特殊财政年应依当年IRS说明核实。标准联邦公司税率通常为21%,但州税、股息预扣及适用特别税制可能另行发生,不能将21%说成股东和公司合计税负。[9][11]
16 | Foreign shareholders, Form 5472 and pro forma 1120
Form 5472不是所有美国公司无条件每年提交的表格。应判断实体是否属于报告公司,例如25%外国持股美国公司或外国全资美国disregarded entity,并核对是否存在可报告关联交易及例外。外国全资美国单成员LLC在这些有限信息申报目的下被视为独立公司,设立、出资、提款、解散及与外国所有人的其他交易可能需要报告;无营业收入不代表没有这些交易。[8]
外国全资美国DE需要申报时,应将Form 5472附在pro forma Form 1120后,并按1120期限及适用延期提交,使用IRS对该类实体规定的专用传真或邮寄渠道;IRS现行说明不允许该类DE电子提交5472。Pro forma 1120是为履行信息申报配套要求,不意味着该LLC已经选择C Corporation所得税分类,也不替代所有人实际应提交的所得税申报。[8]
