Tax Filing Is Now Live on OtoCo

Running a U.S. company as a non-U.S. founder can be empowering — but U.S. tax compliance often feels confusing, especially when you don’t actually operate in the United States.

That’s why we’re excited to announce that OtoCo now offers a dedicated Tax Filing service, in partnership with trusted third-party tax professionals, designed to make U.S. tax compliance simple, repeatable, and stress-free for the majority of international founders.

This service is now available directly through the OtoCo Tax Center.

Why We Built This

Over the past year, many founders asked us the same questions:

• “Do I need to file U.S. tax forms even if I don’t owe U.S. tax?”
• “I live outside the U.S. — why is this still so complicated?”
• “Why does everyone make this harder than it needs to be?”

We looked around and found that:

• Most tax solutions are built for U.S.-based businesses
• International founders are often overcharged or over-served
• Simple compliance filings are bundled with unnecessary complexity

The reality is that most foreign founders fall into a very common, simple category:
they live and work outside the U.S. and only need to file basic, required compliance forms each year.

So instead of forcing founders into complex tax software or expensive accounting retainers, we built a focused service that does exactly what’s needed — and nothing more.

Who This Tax Filing Service Is For

This service is designed specifically for founders who meet all of the following criteria:

• You are not a U.S. citizen
• You are not a U.S. tax resident
• You live and work entirely outside the United States
• You own a U.S. LLC (for example, in Wyoming or Delaware)
• Your business has:
  • No U.S. office
  • No U.S. employees
  • No work performed while physically in the U.S.

You may still:

• Have U.S. customers
• Invoice U.S. companies
• Use U.S. payment platforms like Stripe
• Receive payments into a U.S. bank account

What matters is where the work is performed, not where your clients are located.

What This Service Covers

OtoCo’s tax filing offering focuses on required U.S. federal compliance filings for foreign-owned LLCs that do not have U.S. business activity.

There are two products, depending on your LLC structure.

How the Process Works

We designed the experience to be as simple as possible:

1. You purchase the appropriate tax filing product from the OtoCo Tax Center
2. You complete a short form with basic business and ownership details
3. OtoCo coordinates preparation and filing with trusted third-party tax professionals
4. Required forms are completed and submitted to the IRS on your behalf

There’s no tax software to learn, no paperwork to manage, and no ongoing back-and-forth.

In Simple Terms

If you live and work outside the United States, own a U.S. LLC, and just need to file the required annual compliance forms — OtoCo’s Tax Filing service was built for you.

You can get started today from the Tax Center.
