I formed my US LLC last year and recently got an email about the upcoming tax deadline. This is my first time filing taxes for a U.S. company, and honestly, I’m a bit lost. I don’t even know which documents I need or if my business activity counts as “high volume.” I’ve kept records, but I don’t want to miss anything important or risk a penalty just because I didn’t know what to submit.

When it’s time to file your U.S. taxes, having the right documents in place makes the process way smoother, and helps you avoid unnecessary back-and-forth or delays. Here\’s what you’ll typically need:
* Company documents (like your Articles of Organization or Certificate of Formation)
* Business name and address
* EIN (Employer Identification Number)
* The date your company was formed
* Profit & Loss statement (P&L)
Quick heads-up:
If your business volume is under $250,000 for the year, you usually don’t need to submit the P&L. But if your volume hits $250,000 or more, that statement becomes essential.
So, keep your basics ready, and if you\’re unsure about the volume or missing any of the above, don’t hesitate to talk to someone who’s familiar with U.S. filings. A small oversight can lead to big stress later.
