Die Frage nach der US-LLC, durch Nachrechnen beantwortet
Die halbe Freiberufler-Szene in sozialen Medien verkauft die Wyoming-LLC als Steuertrick. Rechnet man die Zahlen nach, dreht sich das Bild: Ein türkisches Einzelunternehmen mit dem Exportabzug von 100 % lässt meist mehr übrig, und was die LLC wirklich bringt, ist der Zugang zu Stripe und PayPal. Dieses Tool berechnet beide Wege für Ihren Umsatz.

The rails are the actual product here. Wise stopped serving Turkish residents in 2023, so it is not an option for you personally while you invoice from Turkey. A US company is a different customer: Wise Business is one of the accounts a non-resident owned LLC can hold, alongside Mercury and the Stripe access that is usually the real reason people form one. If the numbers above say the LLC does not pay for itself, no account fixes that.

Path A runs the revenue through our verified freelancer tax engine (Bagkur at the minimum base, regular-payment discount). Path B takes midpoint US fixed costs (state fee, agent, mandatory Form 5472 preparer, amortized formation), optional card processing, and taxes the distributed remainder in Turkey as dividends at the general tariff with no deductions and nothing to credit.
- Zero US tax without US-performed work; 5472 mechanics and penalty · IRS sourcing rules and Form 5472 instructions
- BOI reporting permanently dropped for US entities · FinCEN final rule, effective 14 Aug 2026
- Turkish treatment of LLC distributions as dividends; export deduction inapplicable · Turkish CPA guidance (evrenozmen, alomaliye, PwC TR commentary)
- Stripe country list (Turkey absent); PayPal exit 2016; Wise Turkey restrictions since May 2023 · stripe.com/global; Wise help center
US federal income tax is zero when the work is performed from Turkey with no US office, employees or dependent agent; the Form 5472 + pro forma 1120 filing stays mandatory every year with a $25,000 penalty for missing it.
Since the FinCEN final rule of 14 Aug 2026, US-formed LLCs file no beneficial ownership report even with foreign owners.
Turkey taxes the LLC's distributed profits as foreign dividends at the full progressive scale, with no export deduction and nothing to credit; leaving profits in the LLC is deferral with compliance risk, not a tax rate.
An LLC run entirely from Turkey risks recharacterization as Turkish-managed (25% corporate tax plus dividend withholding); practitioner warnings are explicit.
Stripe does not serve Turkey directly; PayPal left in 2016; Wise stopped serving Turkey residents in 2023. Payoneer and bank wires remain the sole-proprietor rails, and the export deduction anyway requires bringing the money home.
