No SSN? You can still get a US tax ID. Most non-resident founders have never heard of the ITIN — and it costs them months of delay. Here's the short version: 🧵

Non-resident founder with a US LLC? Your US tax return is probably Form 1040-NR — and most founders hear about it way too late. Here's the plain version:

The deadline is usually June 15 for non-residents (April 15 if you also earn US wages). Miss it and the return still has to be filed — late just means penalties and a harder time proving clean history to banks later.

Your LLC is formed in one state but you operate from another? That's a foreign qualification — a second registration in the state where you actually work. It isn't a second LLC, and skipping it can block contracts and local bank accounts.

Every first-time founder asks Adam the same question: where do I start? 🎯
Start with the structure. Then get loud about the offer. And protect your calendar — founders do not fail from lack of talent, they drown in unplanned days.

Your LLC's annual report date isn't the same everywhere: Wyoming — your formation anniversary; Delaware — June 1; Texas — May 15. Miss it and good standing quietly slips, and banks notice. Put the dates on your calendar the day you form.

EIN vs ITIN — which tax ID do you actually need? Founders mix these up constantly, and picking the wrong one first can cost you weeks. Here's the difference in plain English. 🧵 1/4

An ITIN is a personal tax ID for individuals who need to file US taxes but can't get a Social Security number — including many non-resident founders. It's for you as a person, not for your LLC. 3/4

Lost your EIN letter? You don't need to reapply — call the IRS Business & Specialty Tax line and ask for a 147C letter, an official EIN verification letter banks and payment providers accept. Keep a clean scan somewhere safe this time.

Most US LLCs don't fail on sales. They fail on messy books. Here are the 5 accounts every LLC needs in its books — whether you're based in the US or abroad. 🧵 1/4

4. Receipts & records — snap a photo of every business receipt the day you get it, and keep invoices with each payment. Your future self (and your tax return) will thank you. 5. Monthly reconciliation — match the books to the bank every month, not once a year. 3/4

If a US client asks you for a W-8BEN, don't send a W-9. The W-8BEN tells them you're a non-resident for tax purposes, so they don't withhold 30% by default. Fill it in your legal name, keep your ITIN handy if you have one, and renew it every 3 years.

Building a business from another country is lonelier than founders admit. The wins feel quieter, the setbacks feel heavier — and there's nobody in the room who really gets it. 1/4

That's why a founder community matters more than another tool or template. One honest conversation with someone who's done it from abroad can save you weeks of guessing — and remind you you're not doing this alone. 3/4
