An operating kit for EU founders who already have a US LLC

What this is

A short, downloadable operating kit for people who live in the EU and already have — or just formed — a US limited liability company. It maps the paperwork and payout screens you will actually see, and it points at official IRS, Sunbiz, Skatteverket, FTC, Amazon, Polar, and Stripe pages.

It is a checklist and a map. It is not a filing service.

What this is not

• Not legal advice, tax advice, accounting advice, or immigration advice
• Not entity formation, registered-agent service, or “we will file your forms”
• Not a filled IRS, Skatteverket, or Amazon form sold as official
• Not a visa, ITIN, EIN, or bank-account application
• Not a promise of reduced withholding, $0 US tax, or any particular Swedish classification of a US LLC

What you download

Ten markdown files, written in English. File 08 is aimed at a Swedish tax resident working from Sweden without a US visa. Other EU countries can use files 00–07 and 09 and replace file 08 with their own tax authority’s pages.

How to work the pack

1. Confirm you belong in file 01. Stop if you do not.
2. Build one entity PDF folder with file 02. Same spelling everywhere.
3. Do not complete a tax interview until you have opened the IRS originals in file 03.
4. Put the Form 5472 review on a calendar (file 04).
5. Issue invoices from file 05 only after you have checked F-skatt / VAT reality (file 08).
6. Turn on payouts (files 06–07) only when legal names match.
7. Do not publish a page with a paid link until file 09 is ticked.

Refund

Unused consumer download: 14 calendar days from purchase. If you asked for immediate access and the files were delivered, EU rules on digital content may limit withdrawal. We still honour a 14-day refund on this SKU if you write within that window and the purchase is unused as a commercial resale. Polar’s own refund mechanics apply to the payment on their invoice.
