What are all the reporting obligations when a non-resident alien LLC owner dies?
My business partner (a non-resident alien from Nigeria) recently passed away. He was the sole owner of a U.S. LLC. I've been helping his family sort things out but I'm overwhelmed by the number of forms and filings that seem to be required. Can someone give me a complete checklist of what needs to be filed with the IRS and when?
