My accountant filed Form 7004 for the LLC. Does that also extend my own 1040-NR deadline?
I am a Spanish founder with a foreign-owned U.S. LLC, and my accountant filed Form 7004 because the Form 5472 package was not ready by the spring deadline. At first I felt relieved, but then I realized I may also need my own nonresident filing because I had a short consulting trip in the United States and some effectively connected income questions.
Now I am trying to separate the business filing calendar from my personal filing calendar. I do not want to assume one extension solves everything if it really only covers the business return framework. This feels like the kind of misunderstanding that happens to international founders because the same documents and tax years all blur together.
