Where do I being to file a corporate tax return?

Hi there, If you spend money with a service provider then your expense is their income. If you claim that your time over the years was an expense that added to the capital cost of your business, then who claimed that amount as income? If you try to do this, then a tax auditor may try to look to make sure you claimed these 'expense' amounts as income in those years. My guess is that you didn't. Capital gains are taxed at lower rates than income. I'm not a CPA or tax attorney. You may want to verify this advice with one: It's likely better to face the capital gains tax then implicate yourself potentially in a problem of undeclared income in prior years. Cheers Dave

Doesnt matter for Federal Income Taxes, Only State Income Taxes. You will have to report the income in the State where you generate the income and reside. So report the income in California. But, If you do conduct business in Montana then you would have to complete a Non-Resident Tax Return.

If the LLC continues to be a disregarded entity, and you as the sole owner continue to be a nonresident alien for U.S. tax purposes, then you won't be able to get a U.S. tax residency certificate. If you file an election for the LLC to be taxed as a C corporation, then the LLC will be a regarded entity for U.S. tax purposes, and will qualify as a U.S. tax resident. Once you file the election you can go ahead and complete Form 8802 to obtain the residency certificate, if needed.

There are only tax implications for the business in it's domicile of jurisdiction (where the business is organized). Contractors in US will have US tax implications, if they actually reside in US. If they live outside US, for more than 330 days/year, they qualify for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, which is detailed here: http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/International-Taxpayers/Foreign-Earned-Income-Exclusion

It really depends under which legal jurisdiction you are. The tax laws are very different in each country. Very generally speaking, every income needs to be accounted for, but what you could do is transfer the money to your corporate account and register it as a founder's loan to the company (which may or may not be paid back to you in the future). You just need to take into account that you still may need to report the source of the income (even if you didn't have a company then) and pay taxes for it (if applicable in your case - again, it depends where you located, how you're registered with the tax authorities, and what the amount is). * Disclaimer: the above should not be seen as legal or tax advice as this is impossible to give without knowing all the details. You should always consult with an accountant or lawyer. I can try connect you with one if you let me know your location and budget.
