I live in Indonesia and keep funding the LLC personally. Is the owner-funding ledger worth keeping if the treaty may help anyway?
I own a Delaware LLC from Jakarta and keep paying small startup costs personally because the U.S. account is new. My U.S. preparer wants a full owner-funding ledger for Form 5472. I understand that part. What I do not understand is whether the same schedule matters once the Indonesia-side reporting and treaty discussion begin.
If the answer is yes, I would rather build the ledger correctly now than treat it as a U.S.-only task and regret it later.
