WY LLC disclosing Beneficial Owner information?

[disagree23]

Hey guys, yesterday I went to the website of Wyoming Secretary of State and I looked for an LLC of a friend.

On this website, you can look for a LLC and get access to the history of filings and also download PDFs (initial filing, tax returns, etc).

I noticed that this LLC have this in the filings history: "2024 Original Annual Report". It's when you have to pay the sales tax (60$/year) for Wyoming LLcs.

I downloaded the PDF and I saw that on this document there is Full Name and Signature of my friend... Now the question is: I have to file the same return in 60 days. Is there a way to avoid putting my name in public along with my LLC so I can stay anon?

Can you clarify?

Can you clarify?

I’m talking specifically of the Annual Tax Return PDF.
I didn’t say that in the company information there is the owner info.
With this friends LLC, I found the owners name inside the annual return (sales tax paid) PDF as a signature.

Not if it's filled through an agent.

If you incorporate through an Agent, you can avoid it. Attached two example of how to do it and how to not do it.

Guido Möller was not that smart and his name is there, while 307 only has his registered agent there.

Guido should have come to our cool internet hangout spot to avoid having the German tax crew ganging up on him and paying him a visit.

Can you imagine a bored German tax agent saying to his colleague "Hey check this Guido Möller guy i've read about on OCT, lets see what he is up to" LOL

This is exactly how it goes. They should send some funds to oct for doing the heavy work.

 

[daniels27]

Maybe, we can ask him to become a new sponsor for OCT:

Guido Möller - Firmengründung & Auswandern

Weltweite Firmengründungen und professionelle Unterstützung beim Auswandern

His impressum is broken, feels like you OCT should send him a Abmahnung

It looks like you guys have a point. So how can I avoid being like Guido? lol

It looks like the problem is similar, but I found this name on a tax return (where you pay the 60 bucks a year to WY)

the agent files it.
Maybe Guido was a DIY fan?

 

[disagree23]

How can I make sure the agent will sign it on my behalf?

by asking him. They wont / cant file in your name.

So this German person made a mistake by filing the report in his name while living in Germany yes?
