U.S. persons are generally required to file Form 5471 related to their ownership in a foreign corporation when their ownership exceeds 10%. To determine your ownership interest percentage in a foreign corporation, you need to consider your direct, indirect, and constructive ownership in the entity.
In essence, a foreign-owned LLC is not subject to federal taxation. This implies that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the US federal tax authority, will not tax a foreign-owned LLC, regardless of the state in which it is registered.
All foreign-owned single member LLCs are required to: Get an Employer Identification Number (EIN, or federal tax number) File Form 5472 if there have been any “reportable transactions” during the previous tax year (Formation and dissolution filings are considered to be reportable transactions) File pro forma Form 1120.
US law does not restrict foreign ownership of C-corps. Even non-US residents can form C-corps in the United States, as no regulation requires shareholders to be US citizens, green card holders, or pass the substantial presence test. No legal rules restrict foreigners from fully or partially owning a C-corp.

Typically, there are no restrictions on who can own and form LLCs in the United States. This means that citizens of other countries can create, own and be a member of a U.S.-based LLC. They do not need to be U.S. citizens. U.S.-resident aliens can also create, own and be a member of an LLC without restriction.
The Need for Foreign Qualification For business owners seeking to establish their presence in the Sunshine State, foreign qualification involves registering with the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations.
As long as a limited liability company (LLC) meets the statutory registration requirements, the business can freely own property in Florida. A registered foreign company not only can own commercial premises to operate, but also invest in rental properties.
You can register a Florida business with ease even as a foreigner but it is important to note that you will be allowed to form only legal business entities in the state.
