I do not have one permanent home address anymore. How should I handle tax filings for my LLC?
I am originally from Hong Kong but have been moving between short-term rentals in Thailand, Japan, and Europe while operating a Delaware LLC. I do not really have a permanent residential address right now. Revenue is about $95,000.
Banks and tax forms keep asking for an address, and I am worried that using different addresses in different places will create confusion or trigger problems later. I want a practical way to keep the filings consistent even if my life is not.
