## When to use Nonresident Tax

- The user is a non-US resident who wants to form a US LLC or C-Corp (Wyoming or Delaware) without travelling to the US.
- The user needs an EIN for a US entity and has no SSN or ITIN.
- The user owns a US entity with foreign ownership and needs Form 5472 plus Form 1120 filed — including at $0 revenue, where the filing is still mandatory.
- The user needs a US registered agent, a US business address for legal mail, or an annual report filed in Wyoming or Delaware.
- The user needs multi-currency bookkeeping and USD financial statements for a US entity operated from abroad.
- The user wants to dissolve a US LLC or C-Corp and close it out with the IRS and the state.
- The user is comparing Wyoming versus Delaware for a non-resident-owned entity.

## When not to use it

- The user is a US person filing a personal return (Form 1040) — this service files entity returns for non-resident owners.
- The user needs legal advice or representation. Hareword LLC is not a law firm.
- The user needs a state other than Wyoming or Delaware for formation.
