I am living in Europe and I want to form a LLC in New York. I want to know the requirements for tax/IRS/bookkeeping. My main services will be for a web marketing agency: web design, seo, email marketing, etc.
I will use a Virtual Office address service and an online service to incorporate my company.
What will be the costs for bookkeeping?
Can I do the bookkeeping myself using a special software?
What are the tax/IRS/bookkeeping requirements for a LLC in New York?
Many thanks!

Among my services will provide Email Marketing Services, for this, I will rent servers from US and I will need to work according to CAN SPAM Law.
90% of my customers will be based in the USA, and if my business will doing good, I plan to settle in the US.
Even if you can somehow form your LLC in NY, you cannot get a tax id # for the LLC unless you’d have a Social Security Number or Individual Tax Identification Number.
Why would you even THINK of doing that? By creating a US entity you incur US tax liabilities!
You can offer your services via the Internet without creating a US entity or incurring any US tax liability at all. The fact that your customers are in the US would be irrelevant. Assuming that you have no intentions of setting foot in the US you won’t owe a dime in US taxes UNLESS you create a US legal entity that is!
what!? :-0
