Tax Structure Overview

A Florida LLC owned by a non-US resident is typically treated as a disregarded entity for US federal income tax purposes *unless* you elect to treat it as a corporation. This means the profits 'pass through' to you, the owner, and are taxed at your individual level. However, you'll only be taxed on income effectively connected to a US trade or business. Florida has no state personal income tax, but does have a corporate income tax.
