Before you look at the dates
A single-member LLC is look-through for the IRS: it pays no federal tax without a US trade or business, but it must report every year what happens between the LLC and its owner on Form 5472. The state gets paid for the LLC existing. And the profit is taxed where you live: that is where the real obligation sits. Which taxes they are and where they are paid, in US LLC taxes for non-residents.
The calendar
United States: federal and 5 states, month by month.
Pick your state to see only what applies to you. Open each date for the rule, the extension, the cost, the penalty and the source. Wyoming, Delaware, Nuevo México, Florida, Texas.

Form 1099-NECOnly if it applies The LLC, only if it paid U.S.-based contractors or service providers above the threshold
Reports to the IRS payments for services made to independent contractors in the U.S.
- Date rule: Deadline is January 31, both for the IRS and for the recipient. If it falls on a weekend it moves to the next business day.
- Cost: 0 USD if self-filed; 5 to 15 USD per form on third-party platforms (market estimate)

Form 5472 + pro forma Form 1120Every year Every U.S. single-member LLC that is 25% or more foreign-owned (a foreign-owned disregarded entity)
Reports to the IRS the transactions between the LLC and its foreign owner or related parties. It is filed stapled to a pro forma Form 1120 that carries only the name, address, and the notation Foreign-Owned U.S. DE at the top, with no economic activity reported.
- Date rule: April 15 of the year following the tax year (calendar year); if it fell on a weekend or legal holiday it would move to the next business day (IRC 7503). In 2026 and 2027, April 15 falls on a business day, so there is no shift.
- Extension: Form 7004 filed before April 15 extends the deadline to October 15 of the same year.
- Cost: 0 USD for the form itself; 500 to 1,500 USD if prepared by a CPA for a straightforward non-ETBUS case (market estimate, not an official figure)
- If you miss it: 25,000 USD per form and year for failing to file or to keep the required records (IRC 6038A(d)). If noncompliance continues more than 90 days after IRS notice, an additional 25,000 USD is added for each further 30-day period.
- Note: Filed on paper, by fax (855-887-7737) or mail to Ogden, UT; the IRS does not accept e-file for this combination for foreign-owned LLCs. It applies even if the LLC has no income or ETBUS: the requirement arises from being a foreign-owned disregarded entity, not from connected activity.

Form 7004 (extension request)Only if it applies Any LLC that needs more time to file the pro forma Form 1120 that accompanies Form 5472
Requests an automatic 6-month extension to file Form 1120 (and therefore the 5472+1120 package).
- Date rule: Must be filed on or before the original due date of the return, not after.
- Cost: 0 USD for the form
- If you miss it: There is no standalone penalty for not filing Form 7004; the risk is losing the extension and being exposed to the Form 5472 penalty (25,000 USD) if the 5472+1120 package is late.
- Note: The extension is only for filing, not for paying any tax due. For an LLC with no ETBUS there is usually no tax owed.

Texas Franchise Tax ReportTexasEvery year Every LLC formed or registered to do business in Texas
Annual filing with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts; determines whether franchise tax is owed and requires filing a Public Information Report (PIR) or Ownership Information Report (OIR) even if no tax is due.
- Date rule: Deadline is May 15, or the next business day if it falls on a weekend or holiday. In 2026, May 15 falls on a Friday (no shift); in 2027 it falls on a Saturday, so it moves to Monday, May 17, 2027.
- Cost: 0 USD if total annualized revenue is below the no-tax-due threshold (2,650,000 USD for report years 2026 and 2027); above the threshold, franchise tax is computed under the applicable method.

Continued noncompliance leads to a notice of intent to forfeit (Form 05-211) and then to loss of good standing (Form 05-213, forfeiture of registration).
- Note: Since report year 2024, Texas eliminated the No Tax Due Report: even LLCs below the threshold must file the Public Information Report (Form 05-102) or the Ownership Information Report (Form 05-167). The no-tax-due threshold is updated periodically (2.47 million USD in 2024-2025, 2.65 million USD in 2026-2027); the exact update mechanism is not detailed on the Comptroller page consulted.

Event Form 8822-B, change of address or responsible partyOnly if it applies The LLC, only if the responsible party, mailing address, or business location changes
Notifies the IRS of a change in mailing address, business location, or the identity of the LLC's responsible party.
- When: A change of responsible party must be reported within 60 days of the change. For address changes without a change of responsible party, the IRS does not publish a fixed day count, but recommends notifying promptly.
- Cost: 0 USD
- If you miss it: There is no specific published penalty for Form 8822-B itself, but failing to keep the responsible party current can cause IRS notices to go undelivered, with knock-on consequences for other forms (for example, the timing computations for Form 5472).
- Note: Applies, for example, if the person managing the LLC changes, or if the registered agent changes with a new business address.

Event Sales tax (state sales tax)Only if it applies The LLC, only if it sells goods or certain services and exceeds a state's economic nexus threshold
Sales tax charged by individual U.S. states; there is no federal-level sales tax.
- When: There is no federal date or threshold: each state sets its own economic nexus threshold (sales volume or transaction count) and its own filing calendar. Many platforms (Stripe, Amazon, Shopify) act as marketplace facilitators and collect the tax automatically in certain cases.
- Cost: Varies by state
- If you miss it: Varies by state; usually includes surcharges and interest on tax not collected or not remitted.
- Note: This item is only a scope note; no specific state is evaluated here. Review case by case depending on where the LLC sells.

Anniv. Wyoming Annual Report / License TaxWyomingEvery year Every LLC formed in Wyoming
Annual report and license fee that keeps the LLC active with the Wyoming Secretary of State.

- Cost: Minimum 60 USD, or 0.0002 USD per dollar (two-tenths of one mill) of the LLC's assets located in Wyoming, whichever is greater.
- If you miss it: If unpaid, the Secretary of State sends a notice; if payment is not made within 60 days of the notice, the LLC becomes defunct (administrative dissolution of its articles of organization). It can be reinstated within 2 years by paying back fees.
- Note: No 2025-2026 legislative reform changing the 60 USD minimum was found; the statute text consulted today still shows that figure.

What the calendar says
Six readings you can quote as they are.
A non-resident LLC without ETBUS has a single fixed federal date
Form 5472 with the pro forma 1120, on 15 April (15 April 2026 in 2026). Everything else federal is conditional: FBAR if the LLC holds accounts outside the US, 1040-NR only with effectively connected income, 1099 only if you pay US contractors.
The most expensive penalty is for the cheapest form
Form 5472 costs nothing to file and carries no tax. Not filing it is USD 25,000 per form per year, plus another 25,000 for every 30 days after the IRS notice. And until you file, the statute of limitations for that year does not start running (IRC 6501(c)(8)).
The state charges you for existing, not for invoicing
Wyoming, Delaware and Florida charge their annual fee even if the LLC has not invoiced a dollar; Texas requires the report even when no tax is due. New Mexico charges nothing. Delaware does not dissolve for non-payment right away: a USD 200 surcharge, 1.5% a month and cancellation after three unpaid years.
The BOI report no longer exists for your LLC
FinCEN exempted US-formed companies with the interim rule of March 2025 and made it permanent with the final rule of 14 August 2026 (91 FR 52508). If a provider charges you to file it, they are charging you for nothing.
The deadline people forget is the one at home
The look-through LLC pays nothing in the US: it pays where you live. Your home income tax season is the real obligation, and in several countries it comes with a foreign-assets return carrying its own penalties (form 720 in Spain, foreign assets return in Colombia, bienes personales in Argentina).
Two reminders are enough
One on 1 March (5472 and, if it applies, FBAR) and one a month before your state fee. The rest travels with your home income tax return, already on your calendar.
Criteria and sources
One profile, one date per obligation, one source per date.
The profile: Single-member LLC, owner a natural person not resident in the US, no ETBUS (no employees, office or dependent agents there), tax year equal to the calendar year. If your LLC has two members it is taxed as a partnership (Form 1065, 15 March) and this calendar is not yours. Nor if it elected corporate taxation.
The dates: each date is taken from the form instructions or the agency's site, moved to the next business day when it falls on a weekend or federal holiday. The 2027 dates follow the same rule; the IRS confirms them in January of that year and this page is reviewed then.
The kinds: "Every year" is what every LLC in the profile owes. "Only if it applies" depends on a fact (accounts outside the US, payments to US contractors, effectively connected income). "Once" is done at formation. "No longer applies" stays visible because providers keep charging for it.
The countries: the income tax season and the informational returns come from each country's tax agency or official gazette. They are those of the resident individual; social security and VAT are not included. The countries are those of the tax calculator, verified the same week.
What it is not: it is not advice. It does not cover multi-member LLCs, LLCs with US employees, corporate elections, or sales tax, which depends on nexus in each state.
Frequently asked questions
What people ask after seeing the dates.
What does a single-member non-resident LLC have to file every year?
To the IRS, Form 5472 with a pro forma 1120 by 15 April, even with no activity. To the state, its annual report or fee (Wyoming, Delaware, Florida; New Mexico requires nothing). And at home, your income tax return with the LLC profit inside, unless you live in a territorial country and the work is done abroad.
What if the LLC had no income?
Form 5472 is filed anyway: it reports transactions between the LLC and its owner (contributions, withdrawals, loans), not revenue. An LLC with zero income and one capital contribution already has something to report. The state fee is paid regardless.
Can I get an extension?
Yes. Form 7004 filed by 15 April extends Form 5472 to 15 October, no reason required and no cost. FBAR has an automatic extension to 15 October without asking. State fees have no extension.
Do I need to file Form 1040-NR?
Only if the LLC has income effectively connected with a US trade or business (ETBUS): dependent agents, an office or staff there. Selling services or software from abroad to US clients is not. Without ETBUS there is no 1040-NR and no federal tax, and Form 5472 remains mandatory.
Does the BOI report still exist?
Not for US-formed LLCs. FinCEN's interim rule of March 2025 exempted them and the final rule of August 2026 made it permanent; only entities formed abroad and registered to do business in the US still file.
How do I use the ICS file?
Download the one for your state and import it into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook. It carries the 2026 and 2027 dates as all-day events with the source in the description. Obligations tied to your formation date (anniversary) are not in the ICS: add them by hand with your month.
