What goes on Form 1042 Part III when my foreign-owned LLC made one royalty payment to its NRA owner?
My foreign-owned Delaware LLC paid one royalty of $8,000 USD to its NRA owner during 2025. I already filed Form 1042-S to report the payment to the IRS and to the owner. Now I have to file the annual Form 1042. Part III is asking for reconciliation totals and I'm second-guessing what fills each line.
