Florida Licensed CPA/Enrolled Agent for LLC Tax Explanation Letter (Out-of-State Client)
Introduction: I'm looking for a qualified and licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or Enrolled Agent (EA) based in Florida to prepare an official letter explaining the tax structure of my Single-Member LLC for an international client. About My Business: My company is a Single-Member Limited Liability Company (LLC) registered in Florida, USA. I primarily provide network engineering services, including consultation, user support, troubleshooting, and maintenance of corporate network infrastructure. My client is located outside of the United States. The Specific Need: My international client has requested an official letter from a qualified professional that clarifies the method of tax calculation applicable to my LLC in Florida. This letter is crucial for their internal review and understanding of our financial relationship. Key Information to Be Covered in the Letter: U.S. Federal Tax Classification: Explain that my LLC, as a Single-Member LLC, is classified as a "disregarded entity" for U.S. federal income tax purposes, treated as a Sole Proprietorship. This means the LLC itself doesn't pay corporate income tax; instead, profits/losses pass through to my personal federal income tax return (IRS Form 1040, Schedule C). Florida State Tax Treatment: Clarify that Florida has no state individual income tax, and therefore, income passed through to me from the LLC isn't subject to a separate state income tax in Florida. Address Florida Sales Tax: Explain that my specific services (network engineering, consultation, user support, troubleshooting, and maintenance) are generally not subject to Florida sales tax, provided that no tangible personal property is transferred or sold as part of the service. Emphasize that my services primarily involve intellectual labor and remote solutions without supplying physical parts or equipment. Owner's Tax Responsibility: State that I, as the owner, am personally responsible for U.S. federal income tax on the LLC's net profits and U.S. self-employment tax (Social Security and Medicare taxes). Services to Out-of-State Client: Briefly mention that since services are provided remotely to a client outside Florida, and benefits are consumed outside the state, Florida sales tax is generally not applicable, aligning with Florida's sales tax sourcing principles. Deliverable: A formal, professionally written letter (preferably on your firm's letterhead) in English, addressing the points outlined above. The letter should be suitable for presentation to an international client's legal and accounting departments. Required Expertise: Must be a Licensed CPA or Enrolled Agent (EA) in the State of Florida. Proven experience with small businesses and LLC taxation. Understanding of Florida sales tax regulations for services (specifically IT/consulting/engineering services). Experience or familiarity with clients serving international entities is a plus. Excellent written communication skills in English. To Apply: Please provide: A brief overview of your relevant experience. Your proposed fixed price for preparing this letter. Confirmation that you are licensed in Florida (CPA or EA). Any questions you may have about my business or this request. I look forward to reviewing your proposals. Thanks!
