# Checklist

Work down this list once, then keep section 6.4 as the yearly calendar for your foreign owned single member LLC.

## 6.1 Formation

* [ ] Choose a name with an LLC designator.
* [ ] Appoint a registered agent with a physical Wyoming address.
* [ ] File the Articles of Organization and pay the $100 state fee.
* [ ] Save the accepted Articles as a PDF.

## 6.2 EIN

* [ ] Wait until Wyoming accepts the Articles.
* [ ] Complete one Form SS-4, with "foreign" on line 7b if you have no SSN or ITIN.
* [ ] Apply by phone (267-941-1099), fax (304-707-9471) or mail.
* [ ] File the CP 575 with the Articles.

## 6.3 Bank

* [ ] Gather the Articles, CP 575, operating agreement, banking resolution, passport, proof of address and business description.
* [ ] Apply, and answer follow-up questions fast.

## 6.4 Yearly calendar

* [ ] First day of the anniversary month: Wyoming annual report and license tax ($60 minimum).
* [ ] April 15: Form 5472 with pro forma 1120, or Form 7004 by the same date.
* [ ] All year: registered agent in place, and records of every owner-LLC transaction kept.
* [ ] Each year: check home-country tax with a local professional.

## 6.5 Next step

If you would rather hand off the formation, EIN and Wyoming calendar of a foreign owned single member LLC, CORPBOLT is the service I would price first. It is built for non-US founders, and no US visit is required.

CORPBOLT starts Wyoming LLC formation at $349, or $599 with your EIN included, and the $100 state filing fee is part of every plan.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://ken-turner-notes.gitbook.io/foreign-owned-single-member-llc/checklist.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
